Rene, no need to email me personally, please keep it on list.
Sorry 'bout that ... I just hit Ctrl+R, and it goes private and on list... force of habit, since this list is set to reply in private...
If you have worked with Java then you should know the true reason for using namespaces. See my previous email to this topic for my explanation. Namespace collision is a large cause for software blowing up when multiple programmers use their own objects from their toolkits into one large project.
Yeah, but in Java things are contained in the classes ... only some IDE's (mostly JDeveloper that I worked with), thinks that anything without private in front of it is global (which is incorrect according to Sun) ...
I'm only on the first semester of my "Advanced Computer Studies", so haven't gotten very far with C++ ... but sofar there's been no indication of what the point in the namespaces is ...
Namespaces are only for the use of Classes. Unless we are talking XML or other technologies. As far as PHP, Java, VB(which uses namespaces now), C++.
I basically haven't touched VB since I learned PHP and Java ... except for VBA in Excel, but that's not exactly the same ... so I can't comment on that...
Rene
