Is it possible to set the OriginalFilename property for a .Net assembly with Visual Studio?

Question

My understanding (which may well be faulty) is that it is easy to set the OriginalFilename property for a C++ DLL or EXE by including a VERSIONINFO resource file in the Visu

Answer 1

Yes it is possible to set it, -> right-click on the project or assembly name in visual studio -> select properties -> select Application tab -> change the assembly name as you want.

Please refer the link to view property window, in which assembly name option is there

After changing the name compile the project,(to verify the change) right click your compiled DLL file and select properties and click on 'Details' tab, in which you can see the 'original filename' is now changed.
