Change name of my program in Task Manager

Question

I Start a Demo Project just for testing.

But on this demo work good and I just tried to create a release from it. The problem, when I tried to start it (On debug mod for example) I see a process name like

(in the red circle)

I also change the properties of my project like this.

Someone have any solution to do this "DataBaseAccessValidator" to be my name in Task Manager?

To change my solution and my directory name did not work for my problem.

I have a big program... I don't know which part is relevant... — , Feb 27 '18 at 08:53

My suggestion: Follow the steps of the [second answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/19844531/4934172) in the link above, make sure you use the same name for everything, and you should be good to go. — 41686d6564 stands w. Palestine, Feb 27 '18 at 09:01
@Johnny you mean "Right click on your project -> select Applicattion Tab -> change assembly name"? If yes, I did so, not work for me.. :( — , Feb 27 '18 at 09:07
There is a button labelled "Assembly Information" - try clicking on that - top line is "Title". You could also try programmatically changing the application title in your code. — PaulF, Feb 27 '18 at 09:08
Not assembly name, you have assembly information, open it and then change the Title. @PaulF exactly ;) Look at your second screenshot, there is a button... — Johnny, Feb 27 '18 at 09:08
PaulF & Johnny are right. Just to elaborate, The Task Manager of Windows 10 displays two different names: 1) In the Processes tab, it displays the `Title`. 2) In the Details tab, it displays the `Assembly Name`. However, whenever you want to rename your solution/project, you should do it properly to avoid unexpected behavior, and that's why I referred to the question above. — 41686d6564 stands w.

You should change the Title within the Assembly Information.

Within the Application Properties page there is a button Assembly Information, open it and change the Title. See the following links:

Application Properties then Assembly Information

Yes, that's the way to change the assembly name and title. But sometime it will not reflect after changing because windows adds a registry in CURRENT_USER in registry. so go to regedit and find your old assembly name. After deleting it will reflect new name in task manager and taskbar. – t4taurus Jul 24 '23 at 18:42

The name that appear in Task Manager is the name to your executable program. You can change it, by using the properties of your project.

Right click on your project -> select Applicattion Tab -> change assembly name.
