global::

What's the meaning of global:: in the following statement

global::System. Data.DataTable employee = new DataTable("Empl oyee");
My best guess is that it means the global namespace. But searching on
'global' gives a lot of non relevant entries.

You'll usually see this in generated code. "global::" is just a way of
saying you want to start name resolution from the root. This would be
necessary, for example, if declared a nested namespace "System" of your own.

Right, I am experimenting with ASP.NET and that's were I saw it.
