BleepingComputer.com: how to copy entire Visual C# solution?

Is there any way to copy an entire Visual C# solution in such a way that it works? If you just copy it and rename it, it gives an error message that it's been renamed and therefore it refuses to work.

Can you give an example of what you are trying to do? It is hard to give an answer unless I know what you are trying to do. For instance, if I just copy an event listener to another class in Visual Studio, it doesn't work properly. There are countless ways that things can get mucked up.

I have a form containing a bunch of TextBoxes. Each time a new record is retrieved from an Access sample database, each TextBox displays the contents of a different column within that record.

Now I want something comparable using SQL Server. But my SQL Server sample databases have different tables than my Access ones.

While I'm concentrating on learning SQL Server, I want to keep the code as small and simple as possible, and I want to minimize the downtime for the code I "break" while I'm trying to port this thing over to SQL Server. So I just want to copy the whole solution to some different name so I can modify that new solution without breaking the old one, which of course I will from time to time be going back to to study in order to implement the new solution.
