Two identical object names; how to make VS ignore one of them?

Question

I have basic User model class that I am using but the problem is that in ASP.NET MVC there is already some property named User that is getting HTTP authentication information.

Can I somehow make Visual Studio 2012 ignore the other one and use mine? It would be pretty unpractical to write Website.Models.Users.User every time I want to access it.

Here is a picture for you to understand my problem better.

Answer 1

You can alias your Namespace or Class, or Microsoft's Namespace or Class:

Replace:

using Website.Models.Users;

With:

using myUsers = Website.Models.Users;

or

using myUser = Website.Models.Users.User;

Then use it as: if(myUser. or if(myUsers.User. in your code

Alternatively, you could just rename your classes so there are no collisions.
