Hi James,
>
From your description, you're wondering how to configure the assembly
information such as "copy right", "company name".... in Visual Studio 2008
created VB.NET project, correct?
>
Based on my understanding, these info is configurable at design-time via
project's properties setting. You can find the setting via the following
approach:
>
** In Solution Explorer, right click project node and choose "Properites"
menu
>
** in the opened properties view, choose the first "Application" tab at
left side(it's the default one)
>
** on the "application" view panel, you can see a "Assembly information..."
button, click it and will find those assembly information properties
>
For VB.NET project, there is a quick way to go to Application properties,
here is a blog entry mentioned this:

I'm trying to use the new VB 2008 right now and I want to know how to preset
the company name and copyright informtion in Assembly Information. In my
current VB 2005, company name and copyright information (the word "CopyRight"
with company name and year) is filled in automatically once a new project is
created. However, I have no idea where I can configurate it in my new VB
2008.

Hi James,

Thanks for your quick reply and the further clarify.

Now I've got your actual goal on this. For the default values for a new
created project, those default values(put in the precreated project files
such as AssemblyInfo.xx Form1.xx ...) are retrieved from the project
template. You can lookup all the existing built-in project templates in the
following project template folder of Visual Studio(9.0 for vs 2008):
>
#this is the path for VB.NET project:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\VisualBasic\
>
For example, you can look into the package of classlibrary project:
>
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\VisualBasic\windo ws\1033\classlibrary.zip
>
in the the zip package, you can find the "AsseblyInfo.vb" template file.
Those properties(such as assembly company copyright ) use some global
constant from visual studio or OS's registry data. If you want them to
reflect your own custom values, you can open the package and customize
it(the assemblyInfo.vb or other template files).

Here are some further reference about project templates in Visual Studio:

Thanks for your reply James,

Yes, I think those values should be maintained in registry, however, so far
I haven't found clear documentation on this. I'll consult some other VS IDE
engineers to see whether they have any furhter information on the settings.
I'll let you know if I get any update.

Just modify the same RegisteredOrganization or RegisteredOwner values as

It seems 32-bit apps (which VS2008 apparently is) look at that node, not
the standard node.
