From: James Wong on
Hi Steven,

Thanks again for your rapid response to my question! However, I may not
describe my question clearly. I know how to input the company name and
copyright information project by project everytime I create a new one. My
case is, in my existing VB 2005, whenever I create a new project, those
information is filled in automatically in Assembly. There is no need for me
to modify manually. But I forgot how I made it sincie it was configurated
several years ago.

Thanks again for your follow-up!

Regards,
James Wong

Hi James,

Thanks for your quick reply and the further clarify.

Now I've got your actual goal on this. For the default values for a new
created project, those default values(put in the precreated project files
such as AssemblyInfo.xx Form1.xx ...) are retrieved from the project
template. You can lookup all the existing built-in project templates in the
following project template folder of Visual Studio(9.0 for vs 2008):

#this is the path for VB.NET project:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\VisualBasic\

For example, you can look into the package of classlibrary project:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\VisualBasic\windows\1033\classlibrary.zip

in the the zip package, you can find the "AsseblyInfo.vb" template file.
Those properties(such as assembly company copyright ) use some global
constant from visual studio or OS's registry data. If you want them to
reflect your own custom values, you can open the package and customize
it(the assemblyInfo.vb or other template files).

Here are some further reference about project templates in Visual Studio:

#Default Project Templates in Visual Studio
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0fyc0azh.aspx

#Customizing Project and Item Templates

Hope this helps.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for your reply! Now I understand where the default values come from
in my existing VB2005. The value $registeredorganization$ from registry
should be the key in this case. However, the PC I use to evaluate VB2008 is
a new one and I installed Windows Vista from DVD. I think I may skip to
provide the value so VB2008 fails to retrieve it from registry. Now my
question is shifted to how I can fill value in $registeredorganization$.

Thanks again for your follow-up.

Regards,
James Wong

Thanks for your reply James,

Yes, I think those values should be maintained in registry, however, so far
I haven't found clear documentation on this. I'll consult some other VS IDE
engineers to see whether they have any furhter information on the settings.
I'll let you know if I get any update.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

From: James Wong on
Hi Steven,

From the Microsoft on-line document #310441, I found the way to modify
company information in registry. I tried to input value in
RegisteredOrganization under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion and it works fine. Now, the company name is filled in
assembly automatically when a new project is created.

Thanks for your kindly follow-up!

Regards,
James Wong
