When I put resource.rc in sourceFiles, dub said, "Error: unrecognized file extension rc";
When I put resource.res in sourceFiles, dub said,"resource.res : fatal error LNK1136: Invalid or damaged file.  Error: linker exited with status 1136"

Yes, .res is the correct file extension, that is the output of the rc compiler.

That linker error would suggest that you need to use Microsoft's tool to compile the resource.rc file.
