Namespace | |
Definition | Set of names accessible at a given point in a program. A namespace is a logical grouping of the names—identifiers—used within an application. Each name within a namespace is unique. A namespace contains only the name of a type, but not the type itself. A developer creates namespaces in order to organize classes into functional units. A namespace of names is analogous to a folder of files; but, unlike the Java system, namespaces do not correspond to folders (directories). For example, theSystem.IO namespace contains the .NET input-ouput support classes. Also known as name scope. |
