How to set a project's executable processname?

I'd like to have my executable's process be called ABC. How I can do this? I tried defining my project name as ABC, but then I'll have an ABC.vshost.

c# process project

You can set this in the project's properties page. Setting the assembly name on the application tab will set the name of the resulting compiled assembly (ie. ABC.exe).

The .vshost.exe is the Visual Studio debugging process, used by Visual Studio when you debug. You can turn that off (Visual Studio does not need it to debug) by unchecking the "enable the visual studio hosting process" checkbox on the debug tab of the the project properties.
