Hi.

I am working on a  class library where I have a namespace called 
MyProject.Implementation.
This namespace only have internal and private classes.

However, when I use my .dll assembly in a WinForm application, that 
application can still see the namespace via Intellisense. For the consumer 
it appears to be an empty namespace.

As access modifiers are not allowed on namespaces, is there another way to 
signal, to visual studio (or other tools),  that the namespace should be 
'invisible' to outside consumers? An attribute perhaps?

Best Regards

The only attribute I know of for this is EditorBrowsable:

[System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsable(System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableState.Never)]

not sure if you can apply it to a namespace though, you can try and post 
back yor result :)
