[RESOLVED] NameSpaces

I am completely confused by namespaces.

First of all, how do I change the namespace for my overall project. i tried to do it manualy, but then I get tons of errors.

Secondly, I added a new form and incorperated some of the same "Using" files, and I keep getting errors saying these files are already in use by this namespace.

Does each form need a different namspace? Or do I only need to declare the imported files in the main form and that is it?

In other words.. I am getting errors saying that i have already declared Sytem.IO in another form, for example. Is that normal?

Woah is me....:(

Hi there,

Here's the little I know:

You can change your project's default namespace in Project->Properties->Application(tab)

Each form needs its own using statements. A form is just another class. Each form does not need its own namespace. When you add a new form to your project, you'll see that as a default it gets its own using statements above the namespace and all your code is within your project's default namespace.

c# Code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
 
namespace MyProgram
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }
}

I also think that this is a helpful definition of namespace: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namespa...puter_science)

I hope that little helps. ;)

Note that when you change the namespace of your application you might see a couple of warnings and errors, try to clean and rebuild your project. This will probably eliminate them

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.
