Resource.Designer.cs generator missing resources on Debug

My IDE is showing errors complaining that my resources do not contain a definition, one example is:

'Resource.Dimension' does not contain a definition for 'screen_padding'

The auto-generated Resource.Designer.cs file in the Resources folder of my Android project has the resources there, but it appears that there is another auto-generated Resource.Designer.cs file in the debug folder for my project, which for reasons unknown to me, is different and I guess is what is causing the error warnings. I'm having to copy/paste from the first in to the second to supress the error warnings (which are non-breaking), but they are annoying.

Is there any way round this, or why does the debug REsource.Designer file not mirror the Resource.Designer file in the project?

You should put this inside of your .csproj file: <AndroidUseManagedDesignTimeResourceGenerator>False</AndroidUseManagedDesignTimeResourceGenerator>.

To do that, close your project, open the .csproj file and insert it into the first <PropertyGroup>. I inserted right after <MonoAndroidAssetPrefix>Assets</MonoAndroidAssetPrefix>.
