How to: Rename a Project Web Reference
Visual Studio 2005
The name assigned to a Web reference is also its programmatic namespace. The namespace can be changed to suit your needs. You can change the name of the Web reference to any string expression that is meaningful to its function. For example, you could change the name of a Web reference that handles account totals to AccountTotal.
