Microsoft namespace

[Joe Abou Jaoude]

I was reading in the .Net Book of the MS Press, and they said that the
system namespace is the root of all namespaces and classes in the .Net
class library.
However I noticed the existence of the Microsoft namespace which is not
part of the System namespace.
So is the System namespace still considered the root of the .Net class
library ? isn't the Microsoft namespace part of the .Net class library ?
or has the Microsoft namespace been added recently after the .Net book
of the MS Press was written ?

Regards

Your question would fit better into a general .NET Framework group.

As far as I know, the 'System' namespace contains classes that will/should
be available in all implementations of the .NET Framework and may be
standardized in the current version sooner or later. The 'Microsoft'
namespace contains Microsoft-specific classes that sometimes are strongly
related to the Windows operating system and Microsoft technologies.
