Hi ,

I would like to use nested namespace .

I have 3 namespace as dll's :
Namespace A
Namespace B
Namespace C

And i want to have some namespace that contain them all , some thing like

Namespace MyComp.A.B.C
Or
Namespace MyComp.A.B or Namespace B.C And so on ...

(e.g ---> System.Data)

please help
 
By default, your project name becomes the "root namespace" of your assembly.
If you are using VS.NET, just right click on the project in the Solution
Explorer and you'll see an option to change the name of the Root Namespace
there.

To create sub-namespaces, do exactly what you wrote down below (remembering
to end each namespace):

Namespace A
Namespace B
Namespace C

Public Class Foo


End Class

End Namespace
End Namespace
End Namespace

All 3 namespaces are part of the root namespace (project name by default or
you change in project properties) and Foo is in the namespace:

RootNamespace.A.B.C.Foo
 
namespace MyCompany.A.B.C {
class Foo {
}
}

Gives a class called MyCompany.A.B.C.Foo
 
Hi Tiraman,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue.
From your description, I understand that you wants to use a nested
namespace.
Have I fully understood you? If there is anything I misunderstood, please
feel free to let me know.

I think you may take a look at the two links below.

Please apply my suggestion above and let me know if it helps resolve your
problem.

Ok ,

I found where I can change the Root Namespace which is good but let me
describe you what I want to do .

lets say that I have a company name Comp and we have 3 Departments (A,B,C)

now each department working on some namespace and on its class's and I want
to make one namespace

that will include them all (not the code !!! just the call or the import to
those namespace's ) and if we will open a new department tomorrow

I want the ability to add a call or include or import to the new department
(namespace) into the root namespace

so every one that use this root namespace will be able to use other public
functions .

Hi Peter ,

your suggestion was good and the articles helped me :-)

let me ask you one more thing please ,

I created a dll name A.B.C.dll and i put that dll under c:\MyDlls\

The Dll Namespace Is A.B.C and i have a class name Test under that dll .

when i m doing this in my aspx file
Import Namespace="A.B.C"
And Than
Dim myParam As New Test

I m getting an error that my Test is not defined

But when i m moving the dll into the bin folder under my project every thing
comes in order :-)

i will be happy to know how to put all of my dll's in one place and use them
from my projects with out moving them into the bin folder .

bye and 10x for your help :-)
 
Hi Tiraman,

Thank you for your quick response.
From my understanding, the error will be orrcur in the runtime, am I right?

As I reply in another post in this newsgroup titled "Namespace Question",
this may be caused by that the Test.Dll is not in the three place the
ASP.NET application will search the assembly.
(1.GAC 2.bin 3.codebase)

You may refer to that issue for detailed information.
