Renaming my VB.net project???

I am relatively new to VB.net. I want to change the name of a Project
and change the name of the files in the Project's various folders to
reflect that new project name.

Is there something I can do within the Project itself to make this
happen?

Every time I've attempted to do this by hand (including going through
the Project's folders and renaming files from say
"MyOldProjectName.exe" to "MyNewProjectName.exe"), something gets
broken and I can't test run my project any more.

I'm sure people change the names of their Projects all the time. How
do you do this in such a way that the Project will run as usual after
all the name-changing has taken place?

Thanks in advance for all help.

Me again. I should also quickly make it clear that I not only want to
rename my files to reflect the new name of the Project, but also
rename the folders that contain those files to reflect the new name of
the project.

Thanks again.

Hello Alan,

I'd recommend to use special tools for this, like ReSharper.
It renames projects easily
