This has sorta hit me... and I'm not kinda started thinking and wondering.
Let's say I have an assembly that is a .DLL. So, we'll call it A.DLL.
To create A.DLL I have references to B.DLL and C.DLL. All of the .DLL's are in using a difference namespace. Let's say all the methods and everything are publically scoped in B.DLL and C.DLL like "Test" in C EXCEPT for those that are used internally in B.DLL or C.DLL and let's say they are private (restricted to the class.)
Now, I have assembly E.EXE and it is using the reference A.DLL.
Why cannot I not use and anything in C.DLL that are publically scoped?
I mean I am "using A;". But why can't I do something A.Test?
A has C in it but yet I cannot access C.
The only way is in the E.EXE I add a reference to C then I needing to add "using C;"
Then I can access Test. Not through A.Test but "Test".
If I have to do that they isn't C in the assembly twice? Once for the E.EXE and onces for the A.DLL?
What am I missing here because it seems duplicative?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
