When must we use extern alias keyword in C#?

by

Basically you only really need it when you want to use two types with the same fully qualified name (same namespace, same type name) from different assemblies. You declare a different alias for each assembly, so you can then reference them via that alias.

Needless to say, you should try to avoid getting into that situation to start with 🙂
