Partial Classes across different namespaces ?

[vivekian]

Hi,

Is there a way to have partial classes across different namespaces ?

namespace a.b.c
{
public partial class X
{
private void MyMethod () { }
}
}
using a.b.c

namespace a.b.c.d
{
public partial class X
{

}
}

Now , when the MyMethod has to be used in the second partial class ,
the compiler fails to recognize it. Where am i going wrong ?

thanks in advance ..

a.b.c.X and a.b.c.d.X are two completely separate, unrelated classes, and
there's no way to make them act like the same class.

No, there isn't because this doesn't make sense. A namespace seperates
types from each other, so that you can A) provide a logical seperation
between types and B) have types of the same name.

May I ask why would you need to have a partial class in two seperate
namespaces?

Google first, ask later.

If ypu have two classes under a different namespace they are different.
