title: Issue with shared WinForms resources across projects in Visual Studio
body: <p>I've moved all image resources in a large multi-project solution to a new project specifically created for shared resources.</p>
  
  <p>Adding a new reference to other projects where the shared images are used is working as expected. The image in the selected button below continues to appear in designer but with issues.</p>
  
  <p>In VS Designer, I'm unable to select shared resources in the Image Editor, having instead to manually edit the designer code. </p>
  
  <p>More specifically, in the Image Editor dialog (accessed from the 'Image' property of an existing control) I select 'Select from File/Resource..." to pop up the Select Resource dialog (shown). There, where I used to access all local project resources (Resources.resx), I would like now to add access to the new shared resources project. Ideally, I would add a second item to the dropdown shown which switches to the resx for the shared resources project.</p>
  
  <p>How can this be done? Is there a better way?</p>
