changing executable file name in visual 2003

[rohan_from_mars]

I changed my solution name to a new name, but still visual studio 2003
builds the executable with the old solution name. Also, I am unable to
change the name from Project properties dialog box. The text box which
has the name is uneditable. How to change it?

Dear Rohan,

Solution Name has nothing to do with the name of the executable.
Name of the executable is actually the assembly name of the project whose
output
file you are concerened with.

In order to change the name of the assembly name

From the Main Menu of Visual Studio 2003 Go to
Project -> Properties -> Common Properties - > general
and change the
"Assembly Name" field to what ever suits you.

Hey Rohan,

What you're looking for is the common properties dialog in the project
properties. There's a whole bunch of things you can change there to
suit your needs

As I understand, the edit box against the assembly name is
uneditable...

As a workaround you can build the project from command line also.
