Assume the current name of my project is "mytestroj". A couple of project files are
named with this stem name like mytestproj.sln, mytestproj.suo, mytestproj.csproj,....

How can I rename my project to "testproj1" ?

Is it sufficient just to rename all file in WindowsExplorer?

Can I do this from within VisualStudio ?

Hi

the SLN and CSPROJ files are text files, so it is
possible to edit them (when the project is not loaded in the IDE) and to
search and replace the old name with the new one.

What version of VS?

I can't say that I specifically remember renaming a project, but I have
yet to run into a situation in VS 2005 where I used the "Rename" pop-up
menu command and it didn't just do the right thing. If you're using VS
2005, you should be able to just right-click the project name, choose
"Rename" and pick a new name.
