If we define a Dog type in the DogLibrary namespace, the fully qualified name for the new type is DogLibrary.Dog. You can use this full name when working with the type.

| DogLibrary.Dog kirby = new DogLibrary.Dog();kirby.Bark(); |
If you’re writing code that exists in the same namespace as a type, you can omit the namespace and just use the short version of the type name.
