I’m using Visual Studio 2005 and I’m wondering what will happen if I rename my solution file from prefs.sln to someOtherFilename.sln, will completely mess things up? Pretty simple question, but I wanted to ask before I went ahead and did anything.
It will still work. I’ve never had an issue renaming a Solution file.
Incidentally, you can rename a Project file as well, but when you do that, some settings may not make sense to a future developer – things like the default project Namespace come to mind. Everything still works, but it’s something to bear in mind when you run across error messages and issues trying to reference classes within the project.
