Changing output name

[Jerry Spence1]

How do I change the name of the executable when I compile my program? In VB6
it was simple. In VB.Net it seems to take on the name of the project and I
can't see where to change it.

Thanks

Jerry,

Have a look at your project properties in the solution explorer and than
AssemblyName

I hope this helps,

Oh - wonderful! Thanks a lot

Actually whilst I'm here, I've got my project buried in a rather silly
folder hierarchy. Can I simply move the contents of the folder elsewhere, or
is the path buried somewhere in a data file?

Jerry,

It is the best when you do it with the solution explorer, you can create in
that as well folders..

When you do/did it with normal explorer, than you have probably first (when
you have done that) to toggle in top of solution explorer show all files.
And than when you see them again with the right click include them in your
project.

Don't forget to make a backup in advance.

I hope this helps,

Cor

"Project" -> "Properties" -> "General properties" -> "General" -> "Assembly
name:"
