Beta 8 load resource assembly cause exception System.IO.FileNotFoundException. The resource assembly is defined in legacy .NET class library, not DNX class library. The same solution works for Beta 7 but fails when using Beta 8.

Change project reference to binary reference for Legacy Library and Legacy Resource Library.
https://github.com/luchen1021/AspNet5Beta8ResourceBinaryReference.git
https://github.com/luchen1021/AspNet5Beta8ResourceBinaryReference
Running in Visual Studio 2015 with IISExpress still get the same exception as shown in top comment.
Publish works fine in binary reference approach. After deploying the published output to IIS (not IIS express), it works fine without any exception.
Based on sample code https://github.com/aspnet/dnx/blob/dev/misc/ResourcesTestProjects/ReadFromResources/src/ReadFromResources/Program.cs, I have to change the following line of code in generated Resources.Designer.cs by Visual Studio
From
global::System.Resources.ResourceManager temp = new global::System.Resources.ResourceManager("AspNet5Beta8LegacyLibrary.LegacyLibrary.Ext.Properties.Resources", typeof(Resources).Assembly);
To
global::System.Resources.ResourceManager temp = new global::System.Resources.ResourceManager("AspNet5Beta8LegacyLibrary.LegacyLibrary.Ext.Properties.Resources", System.Reflection.Assembly.Load(typeof(Resources).Assembly.GetName()));
Even the System.Reflection.Assembly.Load(typeof(Resources).FullName) does not work, has to be System.Reflection.Assembly.Load(typeof(Resources).Assembly.GetName()).
Is this by design? If so, how do we work around the issue with existing satallite resource assembly, which always use typeof(Resources).Assembly instead of System.Reflection.Assembly.Load(typeof(Resources).Assembly.GetName())?
