+```csharp
+ extern alias GridV1;  
+  
+ extern alias GridV2;

+
+Now you can create alias for a namespace or a type by *using alias directive*. For more information, see [using directive](using-directive.md).

+using Class1V1 = GridV1::Namespace.Class1;
+
+using Class1V2 = GridV2::Namespace.Class1;
