Microsoft namespace



I was reading in the .Net Book of the MS Press, and they said that the
system namespace is the root of all namespaces and classes in the .Net
class library.
However I noticed the existence of the Microsoft namespace which is not
part of the System namespace.
So is the System namespace still considered the root of the .Net class
library ? isn't the Microsoft namespace part of the .Net class library ?
or has the Microsoft namespace been added recently after the .Net book
of the MS Press was written ?

Your question would fit better into a general .NET Framework group.

As far as I know, the 'System' namespace contains classes that will/should
be available in all implementations of the .NET Framework and may be
standardized in the current version sooner or later. The 'Microsoft'
namespace contains Microsoft-specific classes that sometimes are strongly
related to the Windows operating system and Microsoft technologies.

Having only recently migrated across from VB6 to VB.NET I'm still unsure whether or not I should be making (heavy) use of the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace in new applications. I've read a lot of posts in the (VB).Net newsgroups and seen just about all of the For and Against arguments i.e. not using it = not coding in VB.NET, not using it = good OO. I'm also aware of the difference between this namespace and the compatibility namespace....

I am under the impression they are obsolete methods included for backward compatibility. For instance is using filedatetime("c:\myfile.txt") still the accepted way of getting the date c:\myfile.txt was last modified? I see filedatetime is in the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace. Is there some dim file as new something dim lastchanged as date = file.datetime method we are supposed to use now?
