Automatic Namespace Detection and Adjustment

Smart namespace management that automatically determines the correct namespace for new files.

How It Works​

When you create a file, the namespace is automatically determined by:

  1. Project Root Namespace: Read from the .csproj file
  2. Folder Structure: Relative path from project root
  3. .NET Conventions: Standard naming patterns

Examples​

Project Root​

File: MyProject/MyClass.cs Namespace: MyProject

In Subfolder​

File: MyProject/Services/UserService.cs Namespace: MyProject.Services

Nested Folders​

File: MyProject/Features/Auth/Services/AuthService.cs Namespace: MyProject.Features.Auth.Services

Namespace Styles​

File-Scoped Namespaces (Modern)​

namespace MyProject.Services;

public class UserService
{
}

Traditional Namespaces​

namespace MyProject.Services
{
    public class UserService
    {
    }
}

The extension detects your project's style and matches it.

Manual Adjustment​

If a namespace needs correction:

  1. Use the "Adjust Namespace" command
  2. The namespace will be updated based on current location
  3. All usings and references remain intact

Configuration​

Namespace behavior respects:

  • Project settings
  • EditorConfig
  • C# language version
  • Team conventions

No manual configuration needed - it just works!
