Resolving problems when renaming resources

Use the advice in this topic to resolve common problems that can occur when you rename resources.

You rename a library that is referenced by an application or another library, but the containing project does not appear to contain the renamed library

Procedure

  • Scenario: An application or library refers to a library. You rename that library, but the containing application or library now contains no reference to the original or renamed library in the Application Development view.
  • Explanation: When you rename a library that is referenced by an application or library, the library reference in the containing application or library is not updated automatically.
  • Solution: To refer to the renamed library, complete the following steps.
    1. Right-click the containing application or library and click Manage library references.
      The Manage library references dialog box opens.
    2. Select the renamed library and clear the original library, then click OK.
    The containing application or library now contains a reference to the renamed library. For more information, see Referencing resources in other libraries.
