Hi,

What MS recommends regarding naming .NET executable files?

Is it better to name my assembly as MyCompany.MyProduct.exe or

MyProduct.exe?

Is there any guidelines from MS? Specifically, if the product contains many
assemblies (exe + many dlls).

Many thanks in advance!

Take a look in your local machine's file system, where Microsoft
applications reside, for an idea of how Microsoft names executable files.
Generally, the file names are fairly short, probably due to the limitations
of the OS regarding the total length of a file path. As for assemblies,
their names are sometimes longer, and sometimes include periods to indicate
namespaces, probably for clarity, and because they reside in the GAC, which
is a known path that is short in length (C:\Windows\Assemblies). See the GAC
for examples.
