Juval Lowy's C# Coding Standards Questions

Question

I enjoy and highly recommend Juval Lowy\'s - C# Coding Standard. Juval explicitly avoids rationale for each directive in order to keep the standard tight (see the preface). Howe

Answer 1

Regarding 1.13 (Avoid fully qualified type names. Use the "using" statement instead):

It may be a bit more than readability. If you have too many usings at the beginning of the file, you have a class that is coupled with classes from too many namespaces.

The class is screaming out for refactoring. Using usings instead of fully-qualified class names lets you identify such tightly-coupled classes more easily.
