After renaming a .resx file and re-building the project, the resulting satellite assembly continues to be created with the old name. Any ideas?

i'm not entirely sure what file you are changing... but have you gone to "Properties" on the solution file itself and changed the values there?

Studio by default seems to put "www.whatever.com" as the base assembly name, i always right away change it to something more friendly here

The answer to this is that all .resx files (all resources, for that matter) are compiled by VS into a single library (.dll) or satellite assembly, which is always named after the main assembly. Makes sense once you realize what's happening.

My original post happened while I had only a single .resx file, which I innocently named the same as the main assembly. Since the complied satellite assembly *seemed* to be named after it, I then expected that changing the .resx file's name would also change the satellite assembly's.

Live long, write lots of code, and prosper.
