Cange namespace in compiled Class Library

I have a couple of class libraries wich I built about a year ago. I want to
add it no other project, but I want to change their namespaces without
recompliation ('cos I'm not sure that I have all nessesery libraries).
Is it possible anyhow change namespace of compiled .NET DLL ?

Why can't you use the existing namespace?

Tamir,

I doubt it, especially if it is signed. If it is signed, then I imagine
the namespace of each type makes up part of the hash that is embedded in the
assembly when it is signed.

What you could do is run ildasm on the assembly, creating files of IL,
and then call ilasm, which would compile the IL. You can change the
namespace in the IL, and get the same results, I believe.

Hope this helps.

Cos I need to incude it in project instead of other version (with different
namespace) so I do not want to mess with exchanging all references

Tamir,

When using IL, I think you need to specify the target to be a DLL, not
an executable.

Tamir,

Can you send the IL files that you are using as input?
