changing executable file name in visual 2003

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.
Regards,
Hameer Saleem

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.

Thanks

Hi, I've created a custom component. I want one of the properties of my custom component to be the output file name which is found in project properties. I know that I can get this by writing a macro, but I would prefer doing this in my component's constructor. Currently I am trying to use ActiveSolutionProjects in the EnvDTE object to obtain the active project but it always returns an empty object.

Hi, When right clicking a project in Solution Explorer, and chosing the 'Add' menu, a bunch of choices come up depending on the project type.

Is it possible to change the default templates in VS 2003? Everytime I start a new web method project I have to include a ton of version control headers and region tags. It would be handy to be able to alter the default templates to include all of this stuff so I don't have to each time. Thanks.
