Bentley Namespace Naming Conventions

Bentley Namespace Alias Guidelines (ensure consistency across code and namespace naming conventions)

When commonly named object name/value types encounter name collisions (e.g. Point, Line, Range, etc. defined in multiple libraries) you can either:

Fully qualify the (new) item instance referring to the object instance assigned name to ensure no ambiguity in name resolution, OR
Create useful and consistent using directive namespace alias' within your code, like:

Platform

BECO Bentley.ECObjects

ECOI Bentley.ECObjects.Instance

ECOS Bentley.ECObjects.Schema

BECP Bentley.EC.Persistence

BECN Bentley.ECN

BDGP Bentley.DgnPlatform

BDGPN Bentley.DgnPlatformNET

BDEC Bentley.DgnPlatformNET.DgnEC

BE BDGPN.Elements

BG Bentley.GeometryNET

BGNC Bentley.GeometryNET.Common

BMSP Bentley.MstnPlatform

BMSPN Bentley.MstnPlatformNET

BU Bentley.ECObjects.Units

.NET

SCG System.Collections.Generic
