Namespace references in C# vs. VB.Net

Question

In VB.Net you can do something like the following without any issues... just ignore the fact that this is a pretty useless class :-)

Imports System

Public          


        

Answer 1

This is because VB.Net supports partial namespaces; C# does not.

With Visual Basic, System is imported by default and child namespaces are automatically resolved.
