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!
