Visual Studio Project Renamer

By , 4 Sep 2001
 

Sample Image - vsrename.jpg

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.

History

5.Sep.2001 v0.5

  • Source code released.

30.Jun.2001 v0.4

  • Better handling of binary files. They should be alright after renaming the project.

15.Jun.2001 v0.3

  • Better renaming of projects with the same name in it, so you can rename a project from 'myproject' to 'supermyproject'. It should go ok.

Generalbug with definesmembermarcelaviles9 Jun '08 - 3:25 
Hi,
 
The program works very fine with Visual C++ 6.0, but only "rebuild all" didn't make all the service as it didn't update correctly the source browser file (the program is perfect, the problem is with visual c++).
 
Just delete the .bsc files from the project also. Otherwise when you look for your defines it will not find.
