How should I deal with namespace and classname collisions

Question

My program has a Model Foo and a namespace that I want to also call Foo. They both make sense to me, but I want to avoid namespace and classname collisions.

Which one should I change? The namespace App.Foo or the Model App.Models.Foo?

Note: I'm using mvvm structure so I have binding code in the namespace App.Foo which uses App.Models.Foo in many places, therefore causing collisions unless I specify Models.Foo everytime (which is ugly).

Answer 1

I would opt for renaming App.Model.Foo to FooModel , as you would likely have at least one FooView and FooViewModel ...

Given your short description, Foo seems to be rather a high-level concept, and FooModel would be the "data" representation of this concept...

My 2 cents
