Arguments

name

The name of the namespace to define.

member_def

Either the declaration of a class, structure, interface, enumeration, or delegate within the namespace, or another namespace declaration. (Nested namespaces are not allowed in the default namespace in Synergy .NET.) You can specify as many member definitions as you want, as long as you specify at least one.

Discussion

The NAMESPACE-ENDNAMESPACE statement creates a namespace, which enables you to group related entities together for use in a Synergy application.

Name can consist of multiple nested namespace names, separated by a period. For example,

namespace space1.space2

A namespace name must be unique among all other identifiers within the same namespace.

Note

To avoid unnecessary imports across source files, we strongly recommend that subroutines and functions be declared outside of a namespace. If they’re declared within a namespace, you’ll get an INNSPACE warning.

Examples

The example below creates the namespace space1, which defines the classes class1 and class2.

namespace space1
    class class1

    .
    .
    .
    endclass
    class class2
    .
    .
    .
    endclass
endnamespace
