Root namespace in vb.net

Is it possible to instantiate an object from the Root namespace? I have a MS
Visual Studio 2002 vb.net project consisting of a dozen individual project
files and I would like to know how to transfer messages from project to
another within the Solution Explorer.

You can reference other DLL projects from within DLL/EXE projects. It's not
supported to reference an EXE project from another project. To add a
reference, right-click the project in the solution explorer, choose "Add
reference...", and select the project in the projects tab.

Thanks for your reply.

All my project files are exe format. For me to add a reference to the
project, I have save them as a dll which won't do (because of the code).
Is there another way?
Thanks,

You can actually just change the file extension from .exe to .dll and you'll
be able to make the references and use the objects. You will NOT be able to
run those projects directly anymore, however.

Since the root namespace is essentially another namespace, can't I just
declare a namespace class and have it reference the root namespace?

What do you mean by the root namespace being "another" namespace?

Namespaces are just labels that designate how to organize and group classes
and interfaces. How and why you make references is not affected by
namespaces.

Namespaces are used to refer to a class. Imports statements are used so
that you don't have to refer to the namespace that a class is in.
Namespaces and references are two distinct and different things.

Hello, I have newbie question. I'm stuck on this current assignment. Write a program that prompts the user for two integer values, passes the values to a function where they are multiplied together and the square root of the product is returned and displayed for the user. The function should return a double. Hint: If you multiply an integer by 1.0 the result will be a double. For example:

Does anyone know where I can access programmically the value stored in the "Root Namespace" parameter of the project's common properties? To find this within the IDE, select your project name under the solution explorer, right click, select properties, the first form that comes up has the value stored in the "Root Namespace" field. I need to find out how to find this value using code. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I suspect that this isn't possible, but I figured I'd ask. My project has a root namespace, let's say it's "Root", that applies to almost every source file (which is why I've set it as the project's root namespace). However, the project also includes a couple of source files whose contents will live in an entirely different namespace, let's say the "Special"

Hi all, I created an XSD to define the structure of an XML file for my project. I made an XML file linked to the XSD using XmlSpy.

However if I strip the root element of all attributes generated by XmlSpy, then there is no problem to find the root element with .NET XML classes (2). (1) The XML for which...
