Renaming a solution help
-
In VS 2012 Express, I created a solution called syncpro and then renamed it multisyncpro in the solution window by using F2 and renaming the solution and then the project. I noticed however, in the folder structure MyDocuments multisyncpro syncpro etc. that the second-level folder is still called syncpro. In a solution that has not been renamed, the two folders are the same name. If I rename that folder outside of VS the solution won't load. How can I rename this folder so it matches the new name of multisyncpro? Thanks...

It is a bit of a pain to do this but can be achieved as follows:
- In Solution Explorer, remove the project.
- Close the solution, saving changes
- Go to Windows Explorer and rename the folder containing the project
- Open the solution
- In Solution Explorer, use "Add Existing" and add the project back into the solution.
