everything: folder, sln file, etc.

Renaming those would be easy, but I'm not clear on how the internals
would still work. For instance, the renamed .sln and .cproj files
would still have internal references to the old folder and file names,
right?
Even hand-editing the VS project files would be no big deal (presuming
they are in Ascii format), but if there's a chance that anything could
get screwed up, it wouldn't be worth it.
I guess an appropriate followup question would be: Which files contain
references and dependencies?
The point is there is no single step to do the folder, solution, project
etc. But the individual renaming is as you say simple.

I'm still not following. If you rename original.sln to modified.sln,
the internal references would still point to original.* files. You'd
have to modify all those internal references. How is that
accomplished? Is it safe to simply edit the .proj and .sln files with
a text editor?
>> Is it safe to simply edit the .proj and .sln files with a text editor?
Hi _DD,
Yes, it is safe and pretty simple, provided you do it sensibly.
Assuming you have a solution named "Useful.sln ", containing a project
called
"Use.vbproj ". You changed the Solution name to "Useless.sl n" and the
Project name to
"Misuse.vbproj" , then :
1. The .sln file contains the reference to the .vbproj file, so you
would need to open it in
notepad and change the line that says :
--------------
Project("{some GUID}") = "Use", "Use.vbproj ", "{some GUID}"
EndProject
--------------
Change "Use" to "Misuse".
2. The .vbproj file contains references to everything you have added to
your project, including forms, folders and other files. It is in XML
format, so you just need to edit the nodes under <Files><Include > to
make appropriate changes for each folder / file name that has been
changed.
HTH,

Cerebrus.
Good response, unfortunately the OP wanted ( I think ) almost a single point
to do all the renaming and its not there; as you point out it equires
severals steps.

Hi Terry (OHM) (One Handed Man),
Thanks for the encouraging words...
Actually my response was only an effort to answer _DD's last post : If you rename original.sln to modified.sln,
the internal references would still point to original.* files. You'd
have to modify all those internal references. How is that
accomplished? Is it safe to simply edit the .proj and .sln files with
a text editor?
I completely agree, that it is a multi-step process. And referring to
his original post, "easy" is a term that may mean different things to
different people. ;-)
Regards,
Cerebrus.
Very True.

If I just create anohter project named XYZ, can I copy the files to that

How can I rename my project to "testproj1" ?
Is it sufficient just to rename all file in WindowsExplorer?
Can I do this from within VisualStudio ?
