inherited namespace

[Alexander Widera]

hello,
is it possible to completly inherit a namespace?

something like
"MyNewNamespace : MyNameSpaceBase"
i want to access all classes in the MyNameSpaceBase by the namespace
"MyNewNamespace", because some classes are inherited and overridden, and
some are not.

thanks for help,

alex

Personally I'd just be doing:

using MyNameSpaceBase;
using MyNewNamespace;

As for the question: not as such; you can (on a file by file basis)
alias the namespace, e.g.
using Fred = System.Collections;

then

Fred.BitArary etc - but this is usually used to resolve conflicts in
individual classes, e.g.

using System.Collections;
using Fred.Collections;
using StandardArrayList = System.Collections.ArrayList;
using SuperArrayList = Fred.Collections.ArrayList;

(i.e. an "ArrayList" class exists in 2 namespaces that we are
importing, and we want to be able to use both in shorthand in the same
file - can also handle explicit assembly versioning, but that is more
complex).
