Classes Hidden from Main...

Examine this code...


using System;

class Foo
{
public int i = 0;
}

namespace Joe
{
class Foo
{
public int i = 10;
}
class Start
{
static void Main()
{
Foo bar = new Foo();
Console.WriteLine(bar.i); // will print 10
}
}
}


My question is, how can Main() access the Foo class which resides in
the "root" namespace, other than using this statement:

[code:1:adc9efdc6b]
using OuterFoo = Foo;
[/code:1:adc9efdc6b]

In C++ we can use ::Foo but I haven't found such mechanism in C#.

Thanks a lot...
 
Can you be more specific about what does not work? I have just tried it (not use your workaround) and everything goes OK

I suspect it can't - but personally, that doesn't bother me. You should
avoid using the root namespace for anything other than simple test/toy
code, and if you *have* to use a library from somewhere else which uses
the root namespace, you can use the workaround you gave.
 
Hi argo_r,

First to answer your question IFAIK there is no way to do that with the
current version of C#.
And as Jon said you shouldn't use that. You will have a name conflict if
there is a type with the same name decalred in the gobal namespace, but in
different assembly

Anyways, what is that?
[code:1:adc9efdc6b]
.....
[/code:1:adc9efdc6b]
It doesn't even compile.... Do you know what that means?
Where do you put this?
