Naming a Setup Project

Bry
Is there any way of modifying the ProductName in my setup project
dialogs that doesn't involve me having to rename my setup project?

I have an application named 'Foo', and the main project within the
soloution is 'Foo'. I'm trying to make my setup project use the name
'Foo' for product name, but I can only seem to make it use the name of
my setup project.

As the main project is called Foo, I can't rename my setup project to
Foo?

Is there any way of editting this in VS .net 2005, or am I going to
have to resort to using Orca or some other MSI software?

Click on the "Properties " for the Setup Project in VS.NET [I am using
2003, should be something similar in 2005], you should see a list of
editable properties including ProductName, which you can change.

Microsoft recommends CompanyName.TechnologyName and it all comes down to not breaking the inheritence model if I am not mistaken. VSN2003 however tells the compiler to use the name of the project as the name of the .dll the project compiles to. Developing on XP Pro in the Default Website would most commonly result in a file system path such as... InetPub/wwwroot/CompanyName.TechnologyName/default.aspx

When I build a setup project, the dependency in the setup project is tied to the version in which it was built. Is there a way to build a setup project that can be used in both versions of the Framework? There is provision to build the app's .exe so that the .exe can be used in either version of the framework, is there not a way to do this for the setup project? I looked at the options, did not find any. Did I miss something? --

I was just wondering what naming convention most of you use for class variables. Underscore, "m_" prefix, camel case, capitalized, etc? Has one style emerged as the most popular? Thanks for any comments. --

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
