Why does it seem that you can't rename an ASP.NET page in Visual Studio?  
When I attempt to rename it, I do a find/replace within the .aspx and .cs 
file and replace all the old names with the new one.  The page renders 
fine, but none of the server controls work!  I have a hard time believing 
that Microsoft wants you to rebuild all your pages from scratch... Is 
there a trick to getting this to work?

Matt,

	I rename my pages on a regular basis (I owe this to my poor
write-things-down-first ability).  The problems you're encountering probably
have something to do with namespaces changing, the Inherits attribute the
the @Page directive needs to be updated, and you need to recompile.
