Remarks

CodeNamespaceImport can be used to represent a namespace import directive.

In most languages, a namespace import directive causes visibility of the types within the imported namespaces to code that references types in the imported namespaces.

Note
Use fully qualified type references to avoid potential ambiguity.

Examples

The following example code demonstrates use of a CodeNamespaceImport to import the CodeNamespaceImport namespace:

C++

// Declares a compile unit to contain a namespace.
CodeCompileUnit^ compileUnit = gcnew CodeCompileUnit;

// Declares a namespace named TestNamespace.
CodeNamespace^ testNamespace = gcnew CodeNamespace( "TestNamespace" );

// Adds the namespace to the namespace collection of the compile unit.
compileUnit->Namespaces->Add( testNamespace );

// Declares a namespace import of the System namespace.
CodeNamespaceImport^ import1 = gcnew CodeNamespaceImport( "System" );

// Adds the namespace import to the namespace imports collection of the namespace.
testNamespace->Imports->Add( import1 );

// A C# code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:
//    namespace TestNamespace {        
//        using System;
//
//  }
