Rename the project

You can rename a project, and have all references changed using the refactoring engine.

To rename a project:

  1. Within the project explorer right-click to project name  Rename…​.

  2. The edit dialog for the selected project opens up. Type a new name.

  3. Click to btnOk

Renaming a project invokes a reindex operation. This action can take a significant amount of time for huge projects. The new name must be unique within the workspace.

NOTE: Since the project is reindexed, it is recommended to refresh the project by either project context menu (right-clicking on the project name  Refresh) or pressing the F5 key before the build.
