Namespacing and Code Organization
Mads talks about namespacing and organization on the Workspaces. This is what I've come up with, maybe it will help you out.
My code is organized in the following pattern:
Namespace:
CompanyName.BrandName.ComponentName
In the case if GenX.NET, it's Interscape.CodesideAssistance.GenX. Since my reasons for this go outside the scope of this blog, I will talk about it in my corporate blog at a later date. At any rate, my namespace hierarchy looks like this:
- Interscape
- CodesideAssistance
- GenX
- ScrollingDataGrid
- ForumsConfigurator
- Iewc
- SimpleRss
- ezc2
It's fairly simple, really, and allows for consistency across product lines and brands.
As for my GotDotNet Workspace, it is laid out as follows:
- Product Name
- MajorVersion.MinorVersion
- Major.Minor.FrameworkVersion.BuildNumber
Again, using GenX.NET as an example, it looks like this:
- GenX.NET
- 2.0
- 3.0
- 3.0.3300.1099
- 3.0.5000.1099
- ScrollingDataGrid
- 1.0
- 1.0.3300.5495
- 1.0.5000.5495
