COM Object Name

[dabramov]

Does anyone how to set the name of the COM object in VS2005 for a C#
project that creates a COM object. I can't figure out what windows
uses as the name when you bring up the "References" window in Excel,
for example. My COM Object's name seems to be the project name. How do
I change that?

Most COM References windows lists registered type libraries. You can
set the typelib description with the AssemblyDescriptionAttribute.

Hi,

I believe you need to specify the ProgIdAttribute attribute on your class.
Without it the namespace and type name are used and, normally, the namespace
is the name of the project.

Try the ProgIdAttribute.
