I am working on .net 1.1 legacy system and need to change the name of outputted dll.
When I go to change the "output file" under project property it's greyed out and won't let me change it.
How do I do this?
In Visual Studio 2017, change the "Target Name" under Project Properties-> Configuration Properties-> General. Show activity on this post. In a C++ dll project using VS 2019 the option can be found in Project > Properties > Linker > General > Output File. Found answer in this question.
Can you edit DLL files in Visual Studio? Yes, you can open and edit certain DLL resources within Visual Studio. You can use Visual Studio to add, extract or delete certain graphical or textual resources, but you cannot edit the functions of a DLL file.
If you right click on "Company" and select "Go To Definition", it should tell you the name of the DLL at the top of the definition source.
Depending on which version of Visual Studio.NET you are running, try going to Project Properties -> Application, and then change the Assembly Name
field. On earlier versions it might be in a different place but I think the Assembly Name
field is still the one you are looking for.
