ResXFileCodeGenerator not handling namespace collisions

text of original issue on codeplex:
If a custom namespace containing "System" as one part is defined (e.g. Foo.System) in referenced code of a project that contains a *.resx embedded resource file, the generated code looks like follows:

internal partial class FooResources
{
    private static System.Resources.ResourceManager manager;
    internal static System.Resources.ResourceManager ResourceManager
    {
        get
        {
            if ((FooResources.manager == null))
            {
                FooResources.manager = new System.Resources.ResourceManager("FooResources", typeof(FooResources).Assembly);
            }
            return FooResources.manager;
        }
    }
}

The System.Resources namespace won't be find due to namespace collisions with the other referenced source files.

Adjusting the code above to use fully-qualified namespaces fixes the issue.

internal partial class FooResources
{
    private static global::System.Resources.ResourceManager manager;
    internal static global::System.Resources.ResourceManager ResourceManager
    {
        get
        {
            if ((FooResources.manager == null))
            {
                FooResources.manager = new global::System.Resources.ResourceManager("FooResources", typeof(FooResources).Assembly);
            }
            return FooResources.manager;
        }
    }
}

This is due to the ResxFileCodeGenerator task being overloaded by NETMF to handle the unique nature of NETMF resources. (most of the code in question is located in %SPOCLIENT%\Framework\Tools\BuildTasks\GenerateResource.cs) It will need to be updated to usethe global:: qualifier added to the language after that code was originally written.
