Using Namespace Aliases
11 October 2007 - 1:43 PM / by Dominic Pettifer. 1 Comment for Using Namespace Aliases.
Cool C# Snippets - Ever get tired of prefixing class names with the fully qualified namespace to avoid class name and namespace conflicts (eg. System.Namespace.AnotherNamespace.User). Well there’s a way around it using Namespace Aliases.
Type Less with Namespace Aliases
Ever grow tired of writing this...
System.Web.Namespace.AnotherNamespace.YetAnotherNamespace.User user = new System.Web.Namespace.AnotherNamespace.YetAnotherNamespace.User();
...all so you can use the User object in that namespace without it conflicting with about a gazillion other User classes elsewhere? If so then use a Namespace alias eg...
using MyAlias = System.Web.Namespace.AnotherNamespace.YetAnotherNamespace;
and in your code...
MyAlias.User user = new MyAlias.User();
Alternatively you can also alias the class itself eg...
using CustomUser = System.Web.Namespace.AnotherNamespace.YetAnotherNamespace.User;
and in code...
CustomUser user = new CustomUser();
Pretty cool time saving technique I reckon.
And whoa, that’s my first post on this blog in nearly 10 months! Seems I hardly get any time to write these things, so I'm going to try and write them shorter like this.
