MissingManifestResourceException after renaming namespace

Hello,

I started a project in VS and chose a stupid default name like
WindowsApplication11. I'm finished coding and I want to rename my
namespace to something more descriptive. When I change all instances of
"namespace WindowsApplication11" to something else, I get a runtime
error MissingManifestResourceException in mscorlib.dll saying that it
isn't able to find my old namespace.

How can I rename my namespace without errors?
 
Hello,

Examine your RESX files. Usually Visual Studio names a form's or a
component's resources it stores to the RESX files with the namespace name
included (because it uses quite a specific way of loading resources based by
the type name of the class to which the resource relates). Therefore, after
you have renamed the namespace, you should check the resource names and make
necessary edits manually.

P.S. Be sure to back up all files you are going to change!
