Namespace Compile Issue

[Brian]

I am having a problem with namespace resolution. Example is below:

Namespace MyNamespace
Public Class MyClass
public x as System.String
end class
end namespace

I get the following compile error:
Type 'System.String' is not defined.

Using VS 2003. There is a reference to system.dll in the project. Nothing
else unusual that I know of. Why won't it resolve System.String?
If I make it just String it works, but I am using some generated code so
this is not easy to change everywhere.

Please help!!!
Thanks, Brian.

The main issue I see, from the code sample, is MyClass, which is an illegal
class name. Are you command line compiling?

Thanks for the reply......I got the mystery solved.
One of the generated classes in the namespace was named System. Obviously
this caused havoc resolving any type that was System.*

It hit me on the way home tonight!
