Hi Ben,

Suppose you have 2 namespaces, foo and bar.

Each namespace has a class with the same name: foo.ClassA and bar.ClassA

You've imported the namespaces for your convenience, so you don't have to
use the namespace when you type your code:

Imports foo
Imports bar

Now, you type the following code:

Public Snafu AS ClassA = new ClassA()

Which class is instantiated? foo.ClassA or bar.ClassA?

The name "ClassA" is ambiguous because without the namespace, the compiler
can't tell which class in which namespace you mean.

Ambiguity has a certain quality to it.

Thanks Kevin

My own fault for not checking the Web Form Designer Generated Code.

Many thanks

Hi Kevin,

This is my frist blog on this site. What you saying is correct, but what I found is it occurs even if we declare Private variables with same name. Say for eg if I declare lstABC and if same name with upper case for dropdown LstABC.
