C# item templates don't have namespace configuration

[smitpatel]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The new C# item templates (class, enum etc) doesn't have namespace configuration. It picks up root namespace always at present. This is somewhat unexpected when creating a new class inside a folder as expected namespace would include folder name as sub-namespace.

Describe the solution you'd like.

If templating engine can gather relative path from project file to folder and convert it to namespace to be used for the class that would be most ideal. We already evaluate the project file so computing this should be best experience for user rather than typing long namespace which is error-prone.

If not, then --namespace switch on the template like Razor Page template would allow users to specify namespace.

This is not a problem but it is different from Visual Studio's default namespace declaration on created C# files

Folder Structure Of Sample Project:

ConsoleApp1.sln
ConsoleApp1/
    ConsoleApp1.csproj
    Entities/
        Entity.cs
    Program.cs

In this case i am using a namespace in Entity.cs file like following:

namespace ConsoleApp1.Entities;

Creating that class in Entities folder with Visual Studio uses this namespace too. But creating that class in Entities folder with C# Dev Kit Extension is using a namespace that only contains project base. In my sample project:

namespace ConsoleApp1;
public class Entity
{

}

And whenever i add a class with C# Dev Kit extension, i am renaming namespace that created with extension.
This is not a problem but in my opinion, default namespace should include folder name like in Visual Studio.
