Question

I recently created a Rectangle struct. Another struct with the same name exists in XNA.

How can I tell the program to use my struct over the built-in one without a name collision?

I also want to still be able to use the built-in one (for a construct to take a normal Rectangle and translate it into mine).

Answer 1

Just fully qualify the type. For example, if your root namespace is MyProject, use MyProject.Rectangle. I don’t know what Rectangle is in XNA, but one full qualification of a Rectangle structure is System.Drawing.Rectangle.
