Expression Blend 5: How to change app name?

Question

Using EB 5 preview for W8 dev, the good news is that I have made a small yet functional app. the bad news is that I had built the app based on a copy of  an earlier app, so on deploy the name of the original app is on the desktop tile. I have no clue how to change that deploy-name in either VS or EB. any pointers would be awesone :) thanks!

Answer 1

I believe the setting your looking for is in the package.appxmanifest. Opening it in VS Express will show the editor with the settings to change the name displayed on the tile.

Answer 2

thank you, much appreciated! :) I will try this today. Is a way to also accomplish the same thing from within Blend ?

Hi,

To edit the manifest from within blend, please double click the appxmanifest fileand change the DisplayName tag to whatever you want.

Hope this helps,
