I had a project I wanted to rename from ProjectA to ProjectB. I wasn’t quite sure how to do this. I mean, I wanted the namespaces to change, the default namespaced (used for new files), project file names, filenames, etc. In my case, I had multiple projects in my solution. I wasn’t sure how this would work.
In the end, I used a search and replace tool to change every reference in every fiel from ProjectA to ProjectB. Then I renamed all the files. To find the files that need to be renamed, you might want to check here. Then I opened the solution up in Visual Studio 2010 (VS2010) and it just worked! So cool! Thanks to most files being text or XML this worked seamlessly.

You may want to check out http://normankosmal.com/wordpress/?p=54. Its a tool that does all the dirty work involved in renaming a project. Also supports svn for now.
