Compiling into files whose names are different than the project name in MSVS (2005+)

Question

Hello,

I was wondering: If I am using MSVS2005 or later and wish to compile my project into a file (exe, dll, lib, etc) whose name is different than the project name, what should I do? Where is this setting? I couldn't seem to find this setting anywhere.

Thanks!

Answer 1

It is different for different types of projects. I can tell you that for C# (and, most likely, VB.NET as well), it's in project properties (right-click on the project in Solution Explorer, choose Properties), tab Application, field Assembly Name (the very first one).

Answer 2

"Linker"->"General"->"Output file"

Found it. Thanks everyone :)
