how can i change the default namespace for web service

[misterstick]

the title says it all.

i have a web service whose code should be shared between solutions.

i've decided arbitrarily that these solutions should compile to a single DLL, so single project.

is there a way to set the default namespace on the code generated by visual studio for a web service to something other than the default one for the project?

many thanks,

this typical codeproject article

http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/webrefrename.asp

tells of one method for doing this.
i've not tested it yet but i'll do so and report back.

right, accepted answer:

select "show hidden files" in solution view.
click on web service reference to show contained files.
click on Reference.map.
press f4 to go to the preferences page.
change the "Custom Tool Namespace" property to your desired namespace.
NB: this is the full namespace, so if the reference is called MyWebReference
and you want it to go in the Company.WebReferences namespace you need
to put Company.WebReferences.MyWebReference in this property.

yay!
