Namespace Memory

[dday9]

Whenever you reference a namespace, whether it is Imports in Visual Basic or Using in C#, does it cause the program the be larger in size? For example, if I had the following code:

Imports System.Data
'Or Using System.Data

does that make the program larger in size than if I had:

Imports System.Data.OleDb
'Or Using System.Data.OleDb

or is it the same size no matter what you reference?

It's just an IDE/Compiler thing... it doesn't actually do anything to your code size... it's just a convenience for the developer so we can save on typing.

That's all.

At best it makes the source code smaller since you don't have to type all those characters.
