Project Renamifier - Visual Studio Marketplace

🚀 Rename projects the way it should have always worked!

Tired of the tedious, error-prone process of renaming a project in Visual Studio? Say goodbye to manual find-and-replace across dozens of files! Project Renamifier handles everything automatically — one click, one dialog, done! ✨

✨ Features

When you rename a project, this extension handles all of the following automatically:

Feature	Description
📁 Project file rename	Renames the `.csproj` file to match the new name
📂 Directory rename	Renames the parent directory if it matches the old project name
⚙️ Project properties	Updates `RootNamespace` and `AssemblyName` in the project file
📝 Namespace declarations	Updates all `namespace` declarations in source files
📦 Using statements	Updates `using`, `global using`, `using static`, and using aliases across the solution
🔗 Fully qualified references	Updates references like `OldName.MyClass` to `NewName.MyClass`
🔧 Project references	Updates `ProjectReference` paths in all projects that reference the renamed project
🗂️ Solution structure	Preserves solution folder organization

The extension shows a progress dialog with step-by-step status as it performs the rename operation, and includes error handling with rollback support if something goes wrong. 🛡️
