Can't Rename Project

[Dean]

I somehow managed to rename my project and Solution from "ProjectOne" to
"ProjectTwo" a few weeks ago. (ficticious project names).

Now, I want to rename it back to "ProjectOne." I renamed it in VS.Net,
replaced all of the strings but it still would not load. Someone on this
forum told me to change the URL path in WEBINFO. Still would not load. I
then changed the URL in the .sln file. Now the proeject loads and builds
but it will not run.

I'm getting BC30560: 'Global' is ambiguous in the namespace 'ProjectOne'.

Public Class Global_asax
--> Inherits ProjectOne.Global

Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Dean

It appears you need to edit the Global.asax - solely judging from your
error.

I would also perform a text search of the old project name using Windows
Explorer to see if you have any legacy names contained within your project.
If you have VS.NET project settings in the "documents and settings" sub
folders, I would search there as well and rename as appropriate.

Check the [webroot]\bin folder for extraneous dll's. When you change the assembly name (under project properties) and recompile, a new dll is created, but the old dll's remain, and contain a duplicate of the Global class, which confounds the run-time complier.
