'namespace' but is used like a 'type'
I suspect you've got the same problem at least twice.
Here:
namespace TimeTest
{
class TimeTest
{
}
... you're declaring a type with the same name as the namespace it's in. Don't do that.
Now you apparently have the same problem with Time2
. I suspect if you add:
using Time2;
to your list of using
directives, your code will compile. But please, please, please fix the bigger problem: the problematic choice of names. (Follow the link above to find out more details of why it's a bad idea.)
(Additionally, unless you're really interested in writing time-based types, I'd advise you not to do so... and I say that as someone who does do exactly that. Use the built-in capabilities, or a third party library such as, um, mine. Working with dates and times correctly is surprisingly hairy. :)
The class TimeTest
is conflicting with namespace TimeTest
.
If you can't change the namespace and the class name:
Create an alias for the class type.
using TimeTest_t = TimeTest.TimeTest;
TimeTest_t s = new TimeTest_t();
All the answers indicate the cause, but sometimes the bigger problem is identifying all the places that define an improper namespace. With tools like Resharper that automatically adjust the namespace using the folder structure, it is rather easy to encounter this issue.
You can get all the lines that create the issue by searching in project / solution using the following regex:
namespace .+\.TheNameUsedAsBothNamespaceAndType
namespace TestApplication // Remove .Controller
{
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
}
}
Remove the controller word from namepsace
