Simplify .NET Class Names
In a MATLAB® command, you can refer to any class by its fully qualified name, which
includes its namespace. A fully qualified name might be long, making commands and
functions, such as constructors, cumbersome to edit and to read. You can refer to
classes by the class name alone (without a namespace) if you first import the fully
qualified name into MATLAB. The import function adds all classes that you import
to a list called the import list. You can see what classes are on that list by typing
import, without any arguments.
For example, to eliminate the need to type System.
before every command in the Access a Simple .NET Class example, type:
import System.* import System.DateTime.*
To create the object, type:
netDate = DateTime.Today;
To use a static method, type:
DaysInMonth(netDate.Year,netDate.Month)
