How to: Change Project Names for Applications
In Visual Studio Team System Architecture Edition, you can change the name of the project that Visual Studio generates for an application on the application diagram. When you implement the application, its project appears in Solution Explorer with the name you specify. Once you implement the application, the project name becomes read-only and further changes to the application name do not affect the project name. For more information, see Considerations for Implementing Applications.
For an ASP.NET application, the format of the project name determines whether the project will be an ASP.NET Development Server Web project (file system-based) or an Internet Information Services (IIS) Web project (HTTP-based). Changes to the format of the project name also affect the project location type. For more information, see How to: Choose Web Site Type for ASP.NET Applications.
To change the project name for an application prior to its implementation
On the application diagram, click the application definition.
In the Properties window, enter the project name for the Project property.
Tip
If the Properties window is not visible, open it from the View menu by choosing Properties Window or pressing F4.
For file system-based ASP.NET Web applications, the project name should appear as a simple string such as "MyProjectName". For HTTP-based ASP.NET Web applications, the project name should appear as a URL that specifies the server location such as "https://localhost/MyProjectName".
