12 years ago Author: tamas Date: 2007/07/08 - 20:54 The namespace support was applied in the trunk. 7a2a84e87c026264b189a149869e8c4984bee74f (r6274)
The module name haven't been changed right now (remains 'mapserver') so as to keep the compatibility with the existing scripts.
Reporter: tamas Date: 2007/06/06 - 22:26 According to the OSGeo affiliation the time has arrived to put the C# interface classes into the right place from a higher level of the abstraction. In this regard I'm planning to place the MapScript classes in a separate namespace so as to harmonize the project with GDAL/OGR where this change have already been done.
For choosing the proper name I should follow the general .NET namespace naming guildelines by using CompanyName.TechnologyName as the root. The names should be PascalCase-d without using underscores. Acronyms and abbreviations should also be PascalCase-d. As the result of this change the MapServer/GDAL/OGR classes will reside in the following namespaces:
OSGeo.MapServer OSGeo.GDAL OSGeo.OGR OSGeo.OSR
I will also change the module name from mapscript to MapScript at the C# interface since the classes should also be Pascal cased. However I will not alter the names of the remaining classes like mapObj since these classes come from a common ground of the SWIG bindings and should behave similarly for the various languages. We will also continue to maintain one reference document for all of the bindings.
