The using keyword can be used to create an alias so that it is easier to qualify an identifier to a class or namespace.For example we use the WriteLine method of the Console class from the System namespace to print some output to the console.We can create a alias for the Console class so that we need not fully qualify it every time we use it.

The syntax for creating a alias is

using alias = class or namespace

The following example shows you how to create an alias for the Console class.

Example


using Con = System.Console; //creating an alias for the Console class
class Test
{
	public static void Main()
	{
		Con.WriteLine("Hi DotNetSpiders");
	}
}
