Namespace problem

[Frank Oquendo]

I have a collection of classes that deal with images. Naturally, I wanted to
call my namespace Graphics or Imaging. Apparently, these names are reserved.
Whenever I try to compile my DLL, I get an internal compiler error. The only
way to solve the problem is to change the name to something else.

Are there any more of these reserved names? If so, where can I read about
them?

Followup: it gets weirder. I can't use Imaging or Graphics *anywhere* in my
namespace. I tried ImagingTools and GraphicTools but got the same error
message.

I just did a quick console app using the "Graphics" namespace and it
compiled without problems:

using System;
using System.Drawing;

namespace Graphics
{
class MainClass
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
}
}
}

You may be seeing a conflict between the System.Drawing.Graphics class
and your "Graphics" namespace. Can you provide some more info?
