Just right click on the name you want to change (this could be namespace or whatever else) and select Refactor->Rename... Enter new name, leave location as [Global Namespace], check preview if you want and you're done!
You could put the caret on a namespace declaration in your C# code and press F2 on the keyboard. This should let you change the name of the namespace across the entire project, including the XAML files.
Set your cursor into the namespace and then hit F2 to rename (if F2 didn't work, try CTRL R + CTRL R or rightclick - rename). All related namespaces should be changed.
you can't rename a namespace. if it's only one object you can copy and rename it.
Go to someplace the namespace is declared in one of your files. Put the cursor on the part of the namespace you want to change, and press F2. This should rename the namespace in every file. At least, it worked in my little demo project I created to test this answer!
Depending on your VS version, the shortcut might also be Ctrl-R,Ctrl-R.
I imagine a simple Replace in Files (Ctrl+Shift+H) will just about do the trick; simply replace namespace DemoApp
with namespace MyApp
. After that, build the solution and look for compile errors for unknown identifiers. Anything that fully qualified DemoApp
will need to be changed to MyApp
.
Just right click the solution, go to properties, change "default namespace" under 'Application' section.
Ctrl+Shift+H not the real solution.
You can use Resharper to change your all namespace definitions in your solution. This is the best way I tried before.

You can use CTRL+R, CTRL+R or for complex namespace changes use this tool https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vs-publisher-599079.FixNamespace
You can use ReSharper for namespace refactoring. It will give 30 days free trial. It will change namespace as per folder structure.
Steps:
Right click on the project/folder/files you want to refactor.
If you have installed ReSharper then you will get an option Refactor->Adjust Namespaces.... So click on this.
It will automatically change the name spaces of all the selected files.
