Question regarding partial classes

[Steve Le Monnier]

Partial Classes allow you to split code between two or more physical files,
and during compilation they are re-joined, or so the book says.

If that's the case why is it that I must have namespace using directives in
both classes otherwise I get build errors?

I don't think it literally puts the file together into one, it probably
places compiled bits into the obj file and adds more as it goes through
the files.

The using directive is a device which allows you to leave out the full
namespace when typing in a code file. Since these are code files, they need
the using statements, unless you simply want to type out the full namespace.
