Hidden C# Feature: Using Alias Directive

You can create an alias to a long namespace or a type like so:

using Project = SolutionName.Data.Project;

Then you use the Alias in place of the namespace:

Project p = new Project();

I wish I would of known about this last summer, probably could of shaved a month off my project just from not having to type in the long namespaces to our data layer.
