Creating a copy of DrawPad and renaming

Postby loucsam » March 1st, 2010, 8:57 am

Hi all,

Just got hold of this and testing it out.

I've got TicTacToe, FridgeMagnets and DrawPad going as a test.

Now I want to make a complete copy of DrawPad directory and rename everything to something else before I play with the Flash code to make it do other stuff.

Where do I need to rename DrawPad to say TestGame?

I've modified in some places, including the Flash, but when I try to build the server side dll it still ends up as DrawPad.dll (I've got the Flash side naming ok) Totally new to Visual Exress.

Any help appreciated. Wasn't sure where to find this info or ask the question.

Cheers,
Max

Hey,

Welcome to Player.IO

If you want to change the name of the dll file generated, you have to change the "assembly name": it's done like this

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f0c12ze9(VS.80).aspx

Rightclick on the project in the solution explorer, and choose properties. From there, find the name and change it.

Best,
Oliver

Thanks for the quick reply.

The link is broken and no sure what it was meant to be (tried but didn't work)

As far as the advice:
"Rightclick on the project in the solution explorer, and choose properties. From there, find the name and change it."
I was in the right place trying this very thing, however when I do this it is all kind of grayed out and won't let me change it.

Any idea why it is like that?

Thanks again for the quick reply.

Cheers,
Max

OK I have now worked it all out, the problem was I had a local server running, so i didn't allow me to update.

Thanks. ANd I got the link working to understand it.

Cheers,
