Project fails to load after changing the name of the project folde

[Joachim]

I needed to change the name of the project folders, e g.

|-MyProject
|
|-MyProject

to something else. Now it doesn't matter what I do - even if I rename the
folders to the original name the project fails to load. The error message is

"One or more projects in the solution could not be loaded for the following
reason(s):

The project file or web has been moved, renamed or is not on your computer.

These projects will be labeled as unavailable in Solution Explorer. Expand
the project node to show the reason the project could not be loaded."

How can I solve this problem without having to recreate my project?
I have checked the project node and it contains no additional information.

Note that I have also tried to change the .sln file. Here's the content
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 9.00
# Visual Studio 2005
Project("{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}") = "MyNewProj",
"MyNewProj\MyNewProj.csproj", "{553A8179-1AD4-41E3-B39A-BEEB4E2C4094}"
EndProject
Global
GlobalSection(SolutionConfigurationPlatforms) = preSolution
Debug|Any CPU = Debug|Any CPU
Release|Any CPU = Release|Any CPU

and the name of the .csproj file.

I have now also replaced the entries in the .csproj file. Without any result.

I have had this in similar circumstances. I was able to fix it bye
removing the original project from the solution then adding it back
from its new location.

Just open the solution. If you right click on the projects that are
marked as unavalable, you should have the option to locate them manually.

if that doesn't work - just open the .sln file in notepad and fix up the
incorrect path
