The “Default Namespace” of Visual Studio 2008

On a final namespace-related note, it is worth pointing out that by default, when you create a new

C# project using Visual Studio 2008, the name of your application’s default namespace will be iden-

tical to the project name. From this point on, when you insert new items using the Project ➤ Add

New Item menu selection, types will automatically be wrapped within the default namespace. If you

wish to change the name of the default namespace (e.g., to be your company name), simply access

the Default namespace option using the Application tab of the project’s Properties window (see

Figure 15-1).

Figure 15-1.

Configuring the default namespace

With this update, any new item inserted into the project will be wrapped within the

IntertechTraining namespace (and, obviously, if another namespace wishes to use these types,

the correct using directive must be applied).
