Change the assembly name of web application

[ibiza]

Hi,

first, I must say that I don't know too much about an application
"assembly name". However, I am trying to set a fixed one for my web
project, as it seems to change for a random name almost every time I
recompile. For now, it is something in the form of "App_Web_XXXXXXXX",
where the XXXXXXXX part is composed of random numbers/letters that
change when I compile, for example "App_Web_yzplve8d". Is it possible
to configure the web app (maybe in the web.config, I can't think of
another place to set this) so the assembly name is fixed and never
changes, like "ProjectName" or something?

Thanks all in advance,

ibiza

Hello ibiza,

No, this is desing behavior. Read extensive description there: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...TTPRuntime.asp

Hi Michael,

Hello ibiza,

If u perused that article, there were mentioned about HttpRuntime.CodegenDir
that return path to the folder where XML located.
In this XML locates name for your assembly, u only need compine info there
