I don't see any complications at all - simply rename it and save it. Then rebuild your project (solution) and make sure new executable get new name.
What do you have to consider? I guess.. the new name? Seriously though, just look at the solution explorer, right click on the project and click Rename. Then just type in the new name. Then just run the project and it should work fine, renamed and all.
Unless you mean renaming the folders as well. Do you?
Just renaming project shouldn't be a big of deal at all.
If you have very large project with complex structure and it is also part of source safe ...
Long story short - if you ever need to re-structure something like that then you have a task with lots of headach...
One thing to keep in mind is that renaming a project doesn't change the name of the folder it's stored in. That isn't really problem because the actual folder structure doesn't matter in the VS Solution Explorer. I would recommend just living with that, although I know some people have to have things done completely. In that case you'd have to manually change the folder name in Windows Explorer, then edit the SLN file to point to the new folder path. Note that SLN files are just plain text so you can open them in Notepad. You'd then at least have to reload the solution and maybe manually adjust and references to that project too. If you require completeness then you have to live with the tedium.
That's not necessarily true at all.Quote:
