This document discusses namespaces in .NET. Namespaces allow for hierarchical organization of code and prevent naming conflicts. Every .NET program has a default namespace. Namespaces can contain classes, functions, variables, and other namespaces. Nested namespaces create a hierarchy. The System namespace contains fundamental .NET types. Namespaces are declared using the "namespace" keyword and classes within namespaces must be accessed using the namespace qualifier.

What is a namespace? A Namespace in Microsoft .Net is like containers of objects. They may contain unions, classes, structures, interfaces, enumerators and delegates. Main goal of using namespace in .Net is for creating a hierarchical organization of program. In this case a de eloper does not need to !orry about the naming conflicts of classes, functions, ariables etc., inside a project. In Microsoft .Net, e ery program is created !ith a default namespace. This default namespace is called as global namespace. "ut the program itself can declare any number of namespaces, each of them !ith a uni#ue name. The ad antage is that e ery namespace can contain any number of classes, functions, ariables and also namespaces etc., !hose names are uni#ue only inside the namespace. The members !ith the same name can be created in some other namespace !ithout any compiler complaints from Microsoft .Net. Namespaces are a !ay to define the classes and other types of information into one hierarchical structure. System is the basic namespace used by e ery .N$T code. If !e can e%plore the System namespace little bit, !e can see it has lot of namespace uses the system namespace. For example System.Io, System.Net, System.&ollections, System.Threading, etc. A namespace can be created ia the Namespace key!ord. 'ere is an e%ample to create ( Boo!s( namespace in )".N$T and &*.
