VisualStudio 2022 v17.2.3 has suddenly started changing the namespaces of my C# files when I drag them to a different directory. In the process it also deletes/adds/modifies using statements (often deleteriously) and updates every file referencing the moved file. It's changing the namespace to the ProjectName.FolderPath.

Searching Tools > Options has turned up nothing. I've disabled all extensions in case one of them was responsible, but it's had no effect. How can this behaviour be stopped?

CodePudding user response：

To disable this, go to

Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > General

and untick the box near the bottom next to "Enable namespace updating when moving files". There is a bug in VS2022 that prevents this option being displayed when searched.
