Compiling into files whose names are different than the project name in MSVS (2005+)

Question

I was wondering: If I am using MSVS2005 or later and wish to compile my project into a file (exe, dll, lib, etc) whose name is different than the project name, what should I do? Where is this setting? I couldn't seem to find this setting anywhere.

Thanks!

Did you look in the Project Properties? Also, what language are you using? VB.NET? C++? — John Saunders, Jul 12 '10 at 02:56
C++. I looked around, but didn't see anything, only a field for changing the names of the object files. — Russel, Jul 12 '10 at 03:00

It is different for different types of projects. I can tell you that for C# (and, most likely, VB.NET as well), it's in project properties (right-click on the project in Solution Explorer, choose Properties), tab Application, field Assembly Name (the very first one).
