Why do extension methods not work with namespace aliasing?

Question

This may be an ignorant question, but I\'m unsure why I can not use namespace aliasing and extension methods together.

The following example works just fine:

Answer 1

I also love to use namespace aliasing but its not working in case of Extension methods. So one thing that i did is, I changed the namespace of extension class to same namespace that my main project has (although my extension class resides in sub folder of main project).

Suppose I have a project myFirstProj which surely has namespace myFirstProj for root classes. My extension class is present in myFirstProj/Common/myExtensionClass with contains namespace myFirstProj.Common { //myExtensionClass }.

So now what I did is, I changed the namespace of myExtensionClass from namespace myFirstProj.Common{ //myExtensionClass } to namespace myFirstProj{ //myExtensionClass } .

Now i can use my extension methods in my whole project myFirstProj event without specifying using statement for my extension class.

I know this isn't a standard way to that but I haven't found any other workaround for it expect this one because for my Project there is a requirement to go with namespace aliasing for project namespaces.
