Something unclear about namespaces

[johnny]

I am writing an application with several components and assemblies. This
morning I created a new assembly with the same namespace as another one. To
my surprise I could not acces objects in the older assembly from the new one.
I assumed that a namespace cannot cross assemblies, couldn't find information
on this.

So if an object is not found in a namespace of the current assembly, in will
not go into the other assembly?

Am I right or am I doing something wrong?

A namespace can be deployed across more than one assembly (see System.Diagnostics for example) but the assembly rules on visibility don't change - for a type to be seen outside of its assembly it must be marked as public
