Creating a class System

Question

Hello I want to create a class called System. However when I create the class and compile the project the other components show up errors since the compiler believes that everything starting with System references to the class I created. I tried to create the class as [System] (from VB) but it didn't work. Any suggestions? Or should I just rename the class to something else? :-)

Or if you have VERY GOOD reason for that put it into a namespace and do not write using namespace (an alias could be fine though)

uhh... rename it... unless you have a damn good reason for reusing Microsoft's predefined names call it something else. While using the same name is possible its going to be VERY messy and not something you need to drag down your development time. -James
