Hi Cal,
The Root Namespace for a Project simply means the bit
that will be added to whatever namespaces you use in your files.
If it's blank then you must specify the whole namespace in
each file. Conversely if it's full length, you need specify no
namespace at all in the files.
But it may be that you want to subdivide your namespace
within a project - in which case your Root Namepsace would
be some common portion.
Let's use those examples.
CalSoftwareEmpire.Controls.FancyStuff
CalSoftwareEmpire.Controls.SimpleStuff
CalSoftwareEmpire.Personal.Games
Say you're working on your Controls and you keep them all
in one Project (for some reason). The Root for the Project would
be CalSoftwareEmpire.Controls. In the files containing the fancy
ones you'd have NameSpace FancyStuff. In the others you'd have
SimpleStuff. But if you had them in two separate Projects (or a
Project each, even) you'd have the full CalSoftwareEmpire.Controls.
FancyStuff as the Root.
Say you're working on one of your Games. The Root would be
CalSoftwareEmpire.Personal.Games plus the name of the game.
In your files you may have no NameSpaces at all or you might have
UI in some, Logic in others, Options in another, etc.
It just depends what's most connvenient for you. The default is
for VS to put your Project name but you can (should?) replace that
with CalSoftwareEmpire.etc.etc
Regards,
Fergus
