Hi there, I have been doing some fixes in a project made in MFC/C++ and everything goes well, except for one issue.

I have displayed the tree from the resource file, It means, the .sln file, and I after that you will see the .rc file with an specific name and the whole database, this same name is the one that the software shows in the main window.

I want to edit this name in order to change it , in order to get a different name placed in the main form.

The reason I want to fix this is because this is incorrect, no written correctly.
Can anyone help with it?

My best regards.
Michael.

This makes no real sense.

The easiest way is to close Visual Studio completly, rename the file and open the *.sln file with a text editor and search and rename it also. You can delete the database files because the get rebuild when missing. Make a backup of all data before starting. ;-)

5d. I would rather say "use revision control system" instead of backup. :-)

Resource file references are not held in the .sln file, but in the project files (.csproj. .vcxproj etc.).
