When running published app / from one of the bin folders
You need to specify AssemblyName
in csproj
file:
<AssemblyName>My custom name</AssemblyName>
After building the app, exe
file produced will be named My custom name
and it will show exactly how you want:
During debugging in Visual Studio
This information is taken VS debugger, which runs under project’s name.
In order to change that, inside Visual Studio you just need to rename the project:
You most probably to follow up this change with changes:
- to directory containing the project – project file name
csproj
will be adjusted automatically, but containing directory will be left with old name - adjust namespaces
- change default namespace for project
- sync namespaces for project – accotrdingly to this SO post you can just place cursor on old namespace in any file and rename it just as you would rename variable’s name – so set it to new name and you will all done.
