How do I set the File Description for my compiled exe?
[Right Click on an exe, select properties, and you will see a "Description" area, I cant seem to find a way to set what the description is when I compile the program]
The reason I ask is because I am setting up a file association with my project and when my exe is added to the list of possible ways of opening a file (Open With...), Only the Icon appears, but there are not words next to it. I assume this is because the file description is blank on the exe, but perhaps there is a different reason.
It must be in the projects properties somewhere, but I cant find it.
EDIT:
Problem solved, jmcilhinney found the area to change it, in the AssemblyInfo
