This question may be most related to deployment of an application. After deploying and installing my application I use the app to create and save a file with my own file extension. After the file is created I right-click on the file and select Open With.. so that I can associate this file extension with my application. In the Open With dialog I use the Browse button to find my application and select it. In the Open With dialog the application icon is shown, but the name of the app is blank (looks like an empty string). Can anyone tell me why this might be happening? I've looked at the Registry, which shows the correct app, but every time I open the Open With dialog only the application icon is displayed, no name. Is this a deployment problem or a Windows issue? Any information on this would be appreciated.

If this thread would be more appropriate in a different section then please let me know - I'll be more careful next time.
 
I think this name comes from AssemblyTitle, in AssemblyInfo.vb (VS 2008 has a dialog for it in Project properties)
