public class CodeNamespaceImport : System.CodeDom.CodeObject

type CodeNamespaceImport = class
    inherit CodeObject

Public Class CodeNamespaceImport
Inherits CodeObject

Inheritance

Examples

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

// 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;
//
//  }

// Declares a compile unit to contain a namespace.
CodeCompileUnit compileUnit = new CodeCompileUnit();

// Declares a namespace named TestNamespace.
CodeNamespace testNamespace = new 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 = new 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;
//
//  }

' Declares a compile unit to contain a namespace.
Dim compileUnit As New CodeCompileUnit()

' Declares a namespace named TestNamespace.
Dim testNamespace As New 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.
Dim import1 As New CodeNamespaceImport("System")
' Adds the namespace import to the namespace imports collection of the namespace.
testNamespace.Imports.Add(import1)

' A Visual Basic code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:

'Option Strict Off
'Option Explicit On
'
'            '
'Namespace TestNamespace
'End Namespace

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.

Constructors

CodeNamespaceImport()	Initializes a new instance of the CodeNamespaceImport class.
CodeNamespaceImport(String)	Initializes a new instance of the CodeNamespaceImport class using the specified namespace to import.

Properties

LinePragma	Gets or sets the line and file the statement occurs on.
Namespace	Gets or sets the namespace to import.
UserData	Gets the user-definable data for the current object. (Inherited from CodeObject)

Methods

Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
