Hi !

If you add a directory in your Visual Studio project and you add a class inside it, the namespace will respect the whole path the directory inclusive.

But sometimes, I prefer having the class in the main project namespace, although it lies in a directory structure, just because I don't want to have mess in my code. So often happens that I rewrite the Myproject.MyDirectory namespace to be Myproject only.

Is it OK in your opinion? Or does any convention say that every class inside the directory must have it included in the namespace ?

Thanks
