c# - Change Default Namespace when creating Class in Folder (Visual Studio)

Question

How can I change the default namespace used when you create a new class in Visual Studio?

Background: My solution has a project MyCompany.MyProject.Domain in which I have a folder "Model Base (Linq)" with a subfolder "Extensions" where I keep all partial class extensions.

MyCompany.MyProject.Domain
   + Model Base (Linq)
        + Extensions
           - Order.cs
           - Trace.cs 

When I create a new .cs file in there, the namespace gets set to MyCompany.MyProject.Domain.Model_Base\_\_Linq\_\_.Extensions, I only want it to be MyCompany.MyProject.Domain.Model though.

How can I change this default behavior?

Answer 1

There are 4 schools of thought here:

• edit it manually
• live with it
• change the class template (or export a second class template)
• create the file outside the sub-directory, then drag it in

I tend to use the 4th; it is quicker than editing, and less hassle than changing the templates
