    Let's say you're starting a new project and you pick your own name (or your company name) as default namespace, how would you do it? In my case: Sander.Rossel or SanderRossel? I'd go for SanderRossel as Sander.Rossel would imply I'd actually have Sander.SomethingElse, which clearly isn't the case. Judging from what I've seen the Sander.Rossel style is the more frequently used though. I've seen both methods and I was wondering which people prefer.

    ProjectX for the primary namespace and then ProjectX.Whatever, etc., maybe ProjectX.Model, ProjectX.DAL, ProjectX.Common where ProjectX is the name of the project. And sometimes it is.

        I follow the Java standard for package names, so everything is under com.vilmos. Actually that's a lie, it's mostly `com.lexa`, but that's because there is a master project called Lexa.

          Bleh, I hate that convention... Why, when I'm searching through my endless list of dependencies (Don't get me started...), should I have to remember whether it's a com, net, or org? .NET just does it better (Like so many things)... Anything in the basic framework is System.*, anything Windows-specific is Microsoft.*, and anything else is CompanyName.* or LibraryName.*

                  Since a solution can contain projects directly related to an app, as well as commonly shared projects, I use the following. Note that not all are needed: ** For the app itself Company.Project.Core Company.Project.DAL Company.Project.BL Company.Project.Entities Company.Project.Shared Company.Project.Tools Company.Project.UI.WPF.Controls Company.Project.UI.WPF.Desktop Company.Project.UI.WPF.Phone Company.Project.UI.WPF.Tablet Company.Project.UI.Web.MVC ** Projects shared by many apps Company.WPF.Controls Company.WPF.Entities Company.WPF.Themes Company.WPF.Utilites

                    Me too. If I get the chance. As a contractor I either have to be "whiter than white" (which is why I follow the M$ way whenever possible) or have to adhere to local convention, regardless of how silly it might be :sigh:

                      Since the source code for our projects is proprietary, we omit the company identification from the namespace name. For .NET, our namespaces are _Assembly_{.Package} where _Assembly_ is the assembly name and the {.Package} suffix is only used where an assembly contains more than one significant body of code. For C++ we usually just use the global namespace. I did have one C++ project where a combination of namespace's and a templated base class really improved the readability of a pile of related classes.

                        Last time I needed a namespace, I happened to play a game. My new commander had just arrived at my base and yelled "Forces of chaos, bow to me!" So my new namespace became FoC, which is very accurate for most software projects.

                        The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
                        This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

                                      I follow the Java standard for package names, so everything is under com.vilmos. Actually that's a lie, it's mostly `com.lexa`, but that's because there is a master project called Lexa.
