Name collisions + space

I tried to organize my MVC project as pleasant, but had problems with naming collisions and wondered if there was a better solution than renaming things into non-logical names.

IE, there is a User class in my Application.Model.Entities namespace.

Then I have Application.Web.Areas.Admin.Models.User, the namespace in which I was going to place all my custom models. This causes a name clash, and when I try to instantiate a User object, it tells me that namespaces are not classes.

I understand why the error occurs, I'm just wondering if there is a better solution than renaming the MVC model folders. (What can I do - I can have ProgramViewModels, ProgramWhateverModels, etc., if necessary). Just curious!

If you need to use both classes in the same fe namespace, you have the main class, where you must use both custom classes, you can declare something like:

using userEnt = Application.Model.Entities;
using userMod = Application.Web.Areas.Admin.Models.User;

and then just call userEnt.User and userMod.User and there will be no more conflicts.

You can be more explicit in your instances:

Entities.User or Models.User.User instead of a simple user
