I think it would help if you gave an example of what you are doing ... the NameSpace name before and after ... that produces this managed code warning.

I just want to change my namespace name Ex: namespace MY.Pro.Tools.Sign.UI -> But i want to change it to my.Pro.Tools.Sign.UI....

You should use the Refactor from the Visual Studio's options to Rename things.

You can learn more on Rename Refactoring here[^]. You should consider reading the table, and the namespace section in it. It explains the work done by the Refactoring tool.

Sure...

vasanthkumarmk 13-Nov-14 14:54pm

But in that is not mentioned about namespace refactoring.

After all, just try. What are you going to loose? :-)

That does work, a 5. I wonder why inquirers asking such questions hesitate to just try it.

fyi: if you use 'Refactor/Rename on a NameSpace name in VS 2013 you may then get an error when you try to build. The error will refer to the 'CSC file you don't have access to. Or it may tell you it can't find the StartUp problem.

The solution to this error is to go and reset the 'StartUp program location.

I mention this to indicate that using 'Refactor is not completely reliable.
