That tells us that you have probably used VB to implement the example, as C# doesn't allow a prefix of the classname with a partial namespace;

Never mind

using some1.some2.some3;

using System.Windows.Forms; 
...
Form f=new Form();   // works as the full type name is System.Windows.Forms.Form
Forms.Form f2=f;     // doesn't work as now prefixing System.Windows.Forms would result in a double "Forms"

using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
