Introduction

This is a utility that renames Visual Studio projects.

Usage:

vsrename <oldname> <newname> <dir>

Where:

oldname : The old name of your project (typically the xxx from xxx.dsw)
newname : The new name for your project
dir : The directory tree that holds the project.

This program will replace all occurences of oldname to newname in all files and rename all filenames that have the old name in it. It will walk subdirectories.

Use with care and on your own risk! Make backups before you use this program. Do a 'rebuild all' on your renamed project.
