Is it possible to change the original file name of the exe?
Hello,
After I build my application, when I view it's properties, it shows the original file name which is "WindowsApp4.exe".
I want this changed without undergoing the entire process of creating a new project and transferring all my code.
Is it possible?

Open the project properties and take a good look through what's there. You can specify the output file name but you should be familiar with all that is available. You really should have looked through the properties already by now, just as you should have looked through the VS Options dialogue to see what is available there but probably haven't. Most people don't bother until someone directs them to a specific option and even then many don't look any further. There's a wealth of information just clicks away that most people just ignore.

Okay, okay, I didn't know that's what Assembly Name is for, English isn't my first language.

It is what it suggests: The name of the assembly. The assembly is the compiled object... whether it's an exe or dll.
