In asp net is more to do  to get completely running under another namespace   Copy your source folder and rename it to your new project name  Open it and Replace all by Ctrl   H and be sure to include all Replace everything Press F2 on your Projectname and rename it to your new project name go to your project properties and adjust it  coz everything has gone and you need to make a new Debug Profile Profile to Create All dependencies have now an exclamation mark - restart visual studio Clean your solution and Run it and it should work

I know its quite late but for anyone looking to do it from now on  I hope this answer proves of some help  If you have CodeRush Express  free version  and a  must have   installed  it offers a simple way to change a project wide namespace  You just place your cursor on the namespace that you want to change and it shall display a smart tag  a little blue box  underneath namespace string  You can either click that box or press Ctrl   keys to see the Rename option  Select it and then type in the new name for the project wide namespace  click Apply and select what places in your project you d want it to change  in the new dialog and OK it  Done   -

I imagine a simple Replace in Files  Ctrl Shift H  will just about do the trick  simply replace namespace DemoApp with namespace MyApp  After that  build the solution and look for compile errors for unknown identifiers  Anything that fully qualified DemoApp will need to be changed to MyApp

Ctrl Shift H not the real solution    You can use Resharper to change your all namespace definitions in your solution  This is the best way I tried before   https   www jetbrains com resharper features code refactoring html

I have gone through the folder structure with a tool called BareGrep to ensure I have got all of the namespace changes  Its a free tool that will allow you to search over the files in a specified file structure

Go to someplace the namespace is declared in one of your files   Put the cursor on the part of the namespace you want to change  and press F2   This should rename the namespace in every file   At least  it worked in my little demo project I created to test this answer   Depending on your VS version  the shortcut might also be Ctrl-R Ctrl-R

When I wanted to change namespace and the solution name I did as follows  1  changed the namespace by selecting it and renaming it and I did the same with solution name 2  clicked on the light bulb and renamed all the instances of old namespace 3  removed all the projects from the solution 4  closed the visual studio 5  renamed all the projects in windows explorer 6  opened visual studio and added all the projects again 7  rename namespaces in all projects in their properties 8  removed bin folder  from all projects  9  build the project again  That worked for me without any problems and my project had as well source control  All was fine after pushing those changes to the remote
