Describe the bug

In .NET projects, when a resource file is added using the VS UI, the files may not be indexed by default.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Examples of this issue:

If the files are added through UI, VS will automatically add something like this for a WPF app:

  <ItemGroup>
    <Content Remove="<image file name>" />
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PRIResource Remove="<resw file name>" />
  </ItemGroup>

For a WinForm/Console app, what’s added is a little different:

  <ItemGroup>
    <Content Remove="<image file name>" />
  </ItemGroup>
 
  <ItemGroup>
    <None Remove="<resw file name>" />
  </ItemGroup>

Expected behavior

Content Remove and PRIResource Remove entries should not appear in the CSPROJ file.

Work around

To work around this issue, please remove the entries below in the CSPROJ file (the None Remove entries can remain):

  <ItemGroup>
    <Content Remove="<image file name>" />
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PRIResource Remove="<resw file name>" />
  </ItemGroup>
