How can I set the application file description in C# (.NET 8)?


I'm building an application in .NET 8 and I can't find the option to set the exe file description, the one displayed in Task Manager as the application name. I was able to do it in .NET Framework, but now it just displays the exe file name (assembly name).

I can't even find the option in the .csproj file. .net 8 vs .net framework


Solution

  • You need to set the AssemblyTitle.

    <PropertyGroup>
       <AssemblyTitle>A Custom File Description</AssemblyTitle>
    </PropertyGroup>
