Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't C# handle the "root namespace" on the
project properties differently than vb.net?

In vb.net, I have setting the root namespace on the project properties.
Then for the most part I don't need an explicit namespace in each class. If
I do specify a namespace, then the root namespace is prepended to the
explicit one specified in the class.

Seems like in C#, if I am explicit in the file that is the namespace I get.
I don't seem where the root namespace on the project properties comes into
play. Yet I can't blank it out.

comments.

Thanks,
jeff

Yes, in C# the source file has all the information in that's required.
Personally, I like that - there's no "hidden" information needed to
know what's going on.

The only way that the 'default namespace' comes into play in C# is that the
designer will automatically insert that into new classes you create. It
doesn't have the 'hidden' behavior that the 'root namespace' has in VB.

It's kind of unfortunate that it's called "root namespace" in the .csproj
file, but in Visual Studio it's called 'default namespace' which is more
accurate.

you are probably right. It wasn't readily apparent what vb was doing to me,
at least when I first started using namespaces.

thanks,

And in VS2005 you can use the Rename refactoring to change it easily.

It's also used for classes the build process creates (for embedded
resources, etc).
