Namespaces and Visibility

Which kinds of visibility apply for types and namespaces in namespaces?

Types declared in a namespace
- Can either have public or internal access
- The default visibility is internal
- Internal visibility is relative to an assembly - not a namespace
Namespaces in namespaces
- There is no visibility attached to namespaces
- A namespace is implicitly public within its containing namespace
