Fear not, dear reader, for we shall guide you through the labyrinth known as file path changing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Open_the_File_in_Visual_Studio\"><\/span>Step 1: Open the File in Visual Studio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step requires the opening of the file that you wish to transform the path for in Visual Studio. This can be achieved by selecting &#8220;File&#8221; from the menu bar and clicking on &#8220;Open&#8221;. Alternatively, you may opt to utilise the keyboard shortcut of Ctrl + O.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Save_the_File_as_a_New_Location\"><\/span>Step 2: Save the File as a New Location<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that you have your file open in Visual Studio, it&#8217;s time to save it as a new location. To do this, you must select &#8220;File&#8221; from the menu bar and then click on &#8220;Save As&#8221;. Once the &#8220;Save As&#8221; dialog box appears, meander your way to the new location where you wish to store the file. Upon arrival, give your file a new name and then click on &#8220;Save&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Close_the_Original_File\"><\/span>Step 3: Close the Original File<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your file has been saved to a new location. Accordingly, it is now time to bid adieu to the original file. To do so, simply close the tab of the original file that is open in Visual Studio.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Update_References\"><\/span>Step 4: Update References<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your journey has yet to reach its conclusion. Now, you must update references to the file in your project. The first step to doing so is selecting the References folder in the Solution Explorer. Once you have found the reference to the original file, right-click on it and select Update Reference.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Test_Your_Changes\"><\/span>Step 5: Test Your Changes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The end is almost in sight. With your file path updated and your references amended, it is time to test your changes. Rebuild your project and test the functionality of the updated file path.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_Conclusion\"><\/span>In Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing the file path in Visual Studio 2019 is a task that is not for the faint-hearted. However, by following these steps, you shall emerge triumphant. Remember to test your changes and ensure that everything is functioning as expected. With this knowledge at your disposal, you can rest easy knowing that your changes have been applied correctly, and your project is free of problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perplexed and Bursting: A Guide to Changing File Paths in Visual Studio 2019 As a developer, you may find yourself in the midst of a&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12142,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3297],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Visual-Studio-ULTIMATE-GUIDE-How-To-step-by-step-Tutorial.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12495"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12495"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12495\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13448,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12495\/revisions\/13448"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
