Question

If you use a you assembly reference (myExample.dll), you add like this to the top

using myExample;

Now if you create a class file, how do you reference it?

Answer 1

Well, in your class file you have the following:

namespace myNamespace
{
    public class MyClass
    {
        public void MyMethod() { }
    }
}

Let’s assume that you have this in an assembly named MyDll.dll. You’d use it as follows:

1. You add a reference to MyDll.dll within the solution explorer
2. You include the namespace with using myNamespace;
3. Then you can use your class doing MyClass test = new MyClass();

If you don’t add the namespace like I said in 2., you’d use your class like:

myNamespace.MyClass test = new myNamespace.MyClass();
