[RESOLVED] [2005] Changing the DLL Name while publishing

**danasegarane** · Mar 27th, 2008, 08:14 AM

Hi All,

I am using Asp.net 2.0, I am trying to deploy my application using the publish website wizard. The project contains 4 forms. By using the Publish wizard I managed to create 1 dll. But the dll name is differ from the Project Name. But in Asp.net 1.0 , the dll name is in the form of project name. How can I change the DLL Name in Asp.net 2.0..

Thanks in Advance

Dana

Hello there,

If you right click on your project and then go to properties, the first option on the window that pops up is Assembly name, change that to whatever you want it to be called.

Hope that helps!

Hello,

Am I right in saying that you are using Visual Web Developer 2005, as opposed to Visual Studio 2005?

The example I gave above was for Visual Studio 2005. I have just had a quick look at Visual Web Developer and that option does not seem to be there.

Mend, you got any more thoughts on this?

It appears that you're using a web site project rather than a web application project.

Web site projects are really 'minimal'... not that much control. Web application projects allow more control over your assemblies and are generally recommended anyways when working with web applications. You will need to install that extension and 'convert' your project to work with it (or redo copy/paste it). Then you will get a screen like this where you can specify your assembly name.
