what rules does designer.cs generation use
<p>Folks, </p>

<p>what are the rules governing the generation of declarations in the designer.cs file in an asp.net project?</p>

<p>for example, I have<br>
 - myfile.resx,<br>
 - myfile.aspx,<br>
 - myfile.aspx.cs. </p>

<p>these generate<br>
 - myfile.aspx.designer.cs </p>

<p>which defines things like <em>protected global::system.web.ui.webcontrols.literal blahblah;</em> for my resources.</p>

<p>but until I reference something in myfile.aspx, it wont show up in the generated designer.cs, <em>even</em> if I'm refering to it in my myfile.cs (the codebehind class).</p>

<p>how can I force this, without taking ownership of that designer.cs file?</p>

<p>context: I have a someresource.text in my aspx, which i am constructing out of a bunch of other resources, which is why they dont show up explicitly in the aspx.</p>
