renameing Visual basic 2005 express projects

Could some one please explain to me how to rename a project in visual basic 2005 express, after it has been saved .

I can create and save the original project but after closing it and then reopening it and making changes I can't save it with a new name.

What I would like to do is create a project called boilerplate that I can have most of the controls ,textboxes and whatevers that I will use most of the time on the boilerplate form then open it and save it with a new name so that I don't have to start all over again.

As it is now I have to start all over from the beginning every time I want to make a change and rename the project .

Thanks.

I am at the end of my rope

I must be doing some thing wrong I

Open the project.

But I can't find any thing called project explorer.

That won't work either if you change the name in the solution explorer it will change the name but then you lose the original project name.

Do you guys create all new application from scratch every time you make a new one

I think he meant solution explorer.

Open the project. In the project explorer, select the project name, depress the right mouse and bring up a context menu which will have a Rename function.

Sure, I create a new application from scratch and if I need to make a copy of a project I simply copy the entire project folder in Windows Explorer. Start Visual Studio and use the project in the copy folder and then change the name of the project to what I want to call it.

It takes all of about 30 seconds.
