[DotNetDevelopment] How can I set the description of my process

[Marcus]

When using the Windows Task Manager to look at all processes running
on the computer, one can see columns for processname, PID, user,
description, ...

How can I set this description of my application?

I am using c# and VS2008

OHOHO ... you want to change PID/ user name for your process ?????????

One easy way to do that will be using winVista DDK not .NET :)

Thanks for answering, but no...I do not want to change PID or user
name for my process.
I just want to set the description of the process. In the Task manager
on my Vista machine I can see a column with a description for every
process. Some processes has got a whole sentence describing it.

In .Net Windows Application, Goto Properties/Application/Assembly Information, Here you can put your description.

Please do not jump with insulting remarks before reading question properly.

Best Regards,
Shameem.

Thanks
Now I am able to change the description of my process. This is
better...

The best however would be if I could set this programmatically or by
some Windows tool with CLI so that I can set this from code. Is this
possible?

I googled some and found that in the AssemblyInfo.cs file you can set
assembly information:

[assembly: AssemblyTitle( "MyAssembly" )]
[assembly: AssemblyDescription( "Description of MyAssembly")]

However I need to be able to set this dynamically in runtime (because
I dont want the same description everytime I start up the
application).

I actually have another application A which only purpose is to start
application B and then exit. Perhaps application A could set the
description for B somehow before launching it?

Is this possible you think?

thanks for answering, but it is the desciption NOT the name of the
assembly that I need to change.

I also need it to be changed programmatically or at least without the
involvement of a GUI as Visual Studio or Windows Explorer. A tool with
CLI would suffice, because then I could launch that one in silent mode
from c# code, instructing it to change the description.

Does anyone know of such?
