Answer 1

the difference is that .net namespaces have nothing much to do with java packages.

.net namespaces are purely for managing declarative scope, and have nothing to do with files, projects or their locations.

it's very simple everything declared in a particular namespace is accessible when you include a 'using' to that namespace.

very easy.

the choice of name and whether or not/how many '.' seperators you use is entirely up to you.

VS defaults to adding .foldernames to your namespaces just to try and be helpful.

this article explains namespaces quite well: http://www.blackwasp.co.uk/Namespaces.aspx

It also has an example naming convention toward the end, although your name convention is your call! ;)

that said, most places i've worked at and people i've worked with start with company name which is sensible, as it makes typenames for that company distinct, (separate from other, libraries, vendors, opensource projcts etc.)
