Re: Case sensitive Find/Replace actions messed up by search history

["Dirk Baeumer" <dirk_baeumer@xxxxxxx>]

I don't have an answer to your question but here is how I would create a new
class
based on an existing one:

- select the existing class in Package Explorer
- copy
- paste it into the package. If it is the same as the source package
  you are promted for a new name. This renames the top level type
  as well as all internal references to that name
- open the class. Select the field with the "old" name and exeute
  Refactor->Rename.
