Rename Project?

[Herb]

I have a VS 2005 Website project named ABC. The project leader has changed
the name to XYZ. Is there a bulit-in way to change the project name? Is this
simpler than I think?

If I just create anohter project named XYZ, can I copy the files to that
folder? Can I just rename the ABC folder to XYZ? What are the ramifications?

Thanks

Hi,

In VS.NET 2005, we cannot rename a WebSite project directly. In my opinion,
there are 2 ways of doing this.

1. Close the project and rename the project folder directly in the windows
explorer.
2. Copy the web site to a new location. You can achieve this by right
clicking on the website in solution explorer and select Copy Web Site from
the context menu.

If anything is unclear, please feel free to let me know.

I simply copied the folder and opened it in VS2005. Added it to source safe
and it seems fine. That was pretty simple after all.
