ASP.NET NameSpaces

[Joseph Cooper]

I have created a few classes in a namespae for example Namespace
PageClassVB. However when I open up a Web page and type 'Imports
PageClassVB' the IDE shows an error as "Namespace or type
'PageClassVB' for the imports 'PageClassVB' cannnot be found". What
are the methods to refer to a namespace in another page?

You must add a reference to the assembly in your project prior to using an
imports statement.

In addition, there is a difference in the way that NameSpaces are handled in
an assembly, depending upon what language you use to develop. In VB.Net, the
assembly name becomes the top-level NameSpace for the assembly, while in C#,
you define the NameSpace for the assembly in the code. So, if you put a
NameSpace into a VB.Net assembly, you're actually using a NameSpace that
resides UNDER the top-level NameSpace for that assembly.

If it gets confusing, and you're using Visual Studio.Net, you can use the
Class View to see the hierarchy of NameSpaces in your assemblies.

Let me append something to my remarks. I should have said that in VB.Net,
the DEFAULT NameSpace is the assembly name. You can change it in the Project
Properties dialog box, so that it is whatever you want it to be.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the reply. Could you let me know how to create the assembly
(The class file is part of the same project) and how do I add a
reference to the assembly to the project.

Thanks
Joseph Cooper
