无法重命名Visual Studio 2010项目

Question

I have a Visual Studio 2010 Solution, that is also under source control (TFS 2010). Usually, I have no problem renaming a sub-project; just right-click, rename, and life is good!

However, I now have one project that I'm trying to rename, but whenever i right-click, type in a new name, and then hit enter, it goes right back to the old name!

I must be losing my mind here!

Answer 1

You probably already have a file with the name you are trying to use on the filesystem though not as part of the solution/project.

Use the windows explorer to find and delete this file and you should be good to go.

Answer 2

In the end it seemed like a TFS issue. THere was a lingering shelveset that was mapped to the project that wouldn't allow me to modify it at all. Once I was able to get my TFS admin to make the necessary changes, all was well!

Answer 3

I tried to go offline from TFS but it gave no results =(

So, then I tried to delete 'SolutionName.suo' file and it made the trick! I was able to rename my project. Buggy VS 2010 =(

Answer 4

Just try to do Reset Settings

The command "devenv /resetsettings" will restore Visual Studio back to its original factory state. If you have previously saved your settings from option 1 above, you can pass them as a parameter: "devenv /resetsettings ".

Or else if you have saved any previous settings try to import by this path "Tools" > "Import and Export Settings…" and your problem get resolved.

If this is v1 sorry you can't rename it as it is mentioned here http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/tfsgeneral/thread/9e50138e-46f2-4f7f-ba09-e5624d30250b/
