C# Namespaces

Namespaces are heavily used in C# programming in two ways. First, the .NET Framework uses namespaces to organize its many classes, as follows:

In C#, global namespace is the root namespace. The global::System will always refer to the namespace "System" of .Net Framework.

System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");

System is a namespace and Console is a class in that namespace. The using keyword can be used so that the complete name is not required, as in the following example:

using System;

Console.WriteLine("Hello");
Console.WriteLine("World!");

C# namespace example

Namespaces Overview

Namespaces have the following properties:

• They organize large code projects.
• They are delimited by using the . operator.
• The using directive obviates the requirement to specify the name of the namespace for every class.
• The global namespace is the "root" namespace: global::System will always refer to the .NET Framework namespace System.
