Hi everybody,

I'm trying to use the new VB 2008 right now and I want to know how to preset
the company name and copyright informtion in Assembly Information. In my
current VB 2005, company name and copyright information (the word "CopyRight"
with company name and year) is filled in automatically once a new project is
created. However, I have no idea where I can configurate it in my new VB
2008.

Thanks for your kindly advice!

Regards,
James Wong

Hi James,

From your description, you're wondering how to configure the assembly
information such as "copy right", "company name".... in Visual Studio 2008
created VB.NET project, correct?

Based on my understanding, these info is configurable at design-time via
project's properties setting. You can find the setting via the following
approach:

** In Solution Explorer, right click project node and choose "Properites"
menu

** in the opened properties view, choose the first "Application" tab at
left side(it's the default one)

** on the "application" view panel, you can see a "Assembly information..."
button, click it and will find those assembly information properties

For VB.NET project, there is a quick way to go to Application properties,
here is a blog entry mentioned this:

Hope this helps.

(Somewhere within the Visual Basic installation) Locate and modify the
Project /Templates/ to set the Company Name and other, static text.

Modify the associated JScript code to dynamically insert the current
year - or hard-code the year as well and get ready to edit and
re-release all your templates every January 1st. :-)
