namespace issue (very odd)

[mazdotnet]

Hi everyone,

I have the following very odd problem (only happens on Windows 2003
Server and not XP)

In my class I have (no namespace)
class test {
...
public static void method (sforce.SforceS ervice binding)
{
does something with binding
}
...
}

In my code-behind I have

namespace ns {
class someclass {
....
somemethod() {
sforce.SforceSe rvice binding; // Define it
test.method (binding); // Call the method in test
does something
}
}

Even though they are both referencing the same sforce.SforceSe rvice on
Windows 2003 Server (not on XP) I get an error message that says
parameter is incorrect
since ns.sforce.Sforc eService is not the same as sforce.SforceSe rvice.
It automatically appends ns to it (happens on on the production running
Windows 2003 Server). Is there a way to force sforce.SforceSe rvice to
stay as is and not become ns.sforce.Sforc eService?

Thanks
MA
