Namespace and class with the same name?

Question

I\'m organizing a library project and I have a central manager class named Scenegraph and a whole bunch of other classes that live in the Scenegraph namespace.<

Answer 1

Just Adding my 2 cents:

I had the following class:

namespace Foo {
    public struct Bar {
    }
    public class Foo {
        //no method or member named "Bar"
    }
}

The client was written like this:

using Foo;

public class Blah {
    public void GetFoo( out Foo.Bar[] barArray ) {
    }
}

Forgiving the error GetFoo not returning the output instead of using the out parameter, the compiler could not resolve the data type Foo.Bar[] . It was returning the error: could not find type or namespace Foo.Bar .

It appears that when it tries to compile it resolved Foo as the class and did not find an embedded class Bar in the class Foo. It also could not find a namespace called Foo.Bar . It failed to look for a class Bar in the namespace Foo. The dots in a name space are NOT syntactic. The whole string is a token, not the words delimited by the dots.

This behaviour was exhibited by VS 2015 running .Net 4.6
