"using" alias in global scope

[VRSki]

Hello,

Is there any way to use "using" for aliasing in the global scope?

The example below works fine in the context of a given file, but in the
different file MyByte alias is unknown. Is there any way to extend its
visibility to multiple files without redefining it?

using MyByte=System.B yte;

namespace MyNamespace
{
public static void Foo()
{
MyByte b = 0;
}
}

Thanks,
VR

No - a using directive only ever applies to the file it occurs in.

Hi VR,

As for the using directive, as Jon has mentioned, it is limited to the file
where it is declared. The MSDN reference on using directive also ponit out
the scope of using:

#using Directive (C# Reference)
