Moving projects....old path residue remains

I have several projects that were created under a certain path.

Now, I want to move these projects to a new location.

I know that internally in the source code files....the OLD path is still there  (for example, in the PDB files for debugging).


Is there an easy way to force the PATH to get updated to the new location?

Recommendations?


Thanks,

Tom

Also...how can I update the csproj.user file   (short of opening it in Notepad.exe and changing the path...which I could do if I had to but would prefer not to)????

>>>relative paths ... tends to ease this issue.

Not sure what you mean....these paths I'm talking about are established by the VS IDE when I create a New Project.
csproj.user  is where the old path is.

I think I understand what you mean.
The key is the use of   "  ..\  "


Instead of spelling it all the way out?????
yes ..\..\whatever is a relative path from the root of the project
