namespaces hierarchy

[Amit bhavsar]

hi,
how are namespaces distributed in assemblies?
is there only one dll which comtains all the namespaces with "system"
namespace as root of all the namespaces or there are different assemblies
that has namespaces that come under system namespaces.
if there are more than one assemblies for the .net framework api ,then how
is it handled.
say how can "data" namespace come under "system" namespace being in
different assembly.
how the hierarchy is maintained.

regards
amit

Hi Amit,

As far as I know, multiple assemblies can contribute new types to the
same namespace. For example, within my project, we have multiple
assemblies with the same namespace. Typically, this namespace has the form

<company>.<technology/division>.<free>.<free2>

The first two should be used to identify the company and the division.
The last two are used to divide the namespaces based on whatever you
feel like (e.g. software archive name and subnames).

namespaces are logical arrangements and not physical file entities...
