>I need to rename a web site and the associated ASP.NET project. What I mean is that I have developed an ASP.NET app on my system named StockIndex that is located at http://localhost/StockIndex. What I would like to do is rename the project to StockIndexOld so that I can create a new project named StockIndex, but still run the old version. How can I do that?


Do you still want to be able to develop on the old site, you will need to move project references, if you just want to leave it in its current state this is what you do.

Go into IIS Admin and stop the default WebSite, delete the Virtual Directory for StockIndex, but NOT the folder.

Copy your folder StockIndex to StockIndexOld.

In IIS Admin, create a new virtual directory called StockIndexOld, and point it to the new StockIndexOld directory.

Restart IIS and you should be fine.

When you create a new project with VS.NET, it will create a new folder and new virtual directory for you, for the StockIndex project.
