C# [using] as data annotation

Question

I have an ambiguous reference between two methods from different classes.

This classes are in different namespaces that share the same structure like:

MyApp.Models.Folder1.Class1
MyApp.Models.Folder2.Class2

Why I can't use like this?

using MyApp.Models;
//and use this static method
Folder1.Class1.StaticMethod();

And is there any way to use a namespace just for a method? like:

[using(MyApp.Models.Folder1)]
public ContentResult SomeGetMethod(){
    if(Class1.StaticBooleanMethod()) return "nice baby!";
    return "that was horrible!";
}

From the MSDN documentation, a using directive does not give you access to any namespaces that are nested in the namespace you specify.

And is there any way to use a namespace just for a method? like:

There is no way to do this, however you can fully qualify the name:

if (MyApp.Models.Folder1.Class1.StaticBooleanMethod()) return "nice baby!";

Or use an alias:

using Folder = MyApp.Models.Folder1;
...
if(Folder.Class1.StaticBooleanMethod()) return "nice baby!";
