Here’s the problem, you include multiple assemblies and add ‘using namespaceX’ at the top of your code file.
Now you want to create a class or use a symbol which is defined in multiple namespaces, e.g. System.Windows.Controls.Image & System.Drawing.Image

Now unless you use the fully qualified name, there will be a crib/build error due to ambiguity inspite of the right ‘using’ declarations at the top. What is the way out here?

(Another knowledge base post.. I found the answer after about 10 minutes of searching because I didn’t know the right keyword to search for)
