Visual Studio: Change Project Path

Microsoft Visual Studio doesnt make it very easy to change the project path for your development project.

We came up with our own solution though.

Hopefully this tutorial works for you.

Save and end the project if you have it open.

Navigate to the location where your project is stored using Windows File Explorer.

Move all of the project files to the new location.

In this example, I am moving my project from a folder atC:\Users\mbartlett\source\repos\ConsoleApp2toC:\Users\mbartlett\source\repos\MyNewFolder.

Right-smack the solution file (.SLN), then select Edit with Notepad.

Now secure your changes and close Notepad.
