Types are declared in namespaces in order to prevent name collisions and as a way to organize them into the object hierarchy. Types that are defined outside any named namespace are in a global namespace that cannot be referenced in code.

Noncompliant Code Example

public class Foo // Noncompliant
{
}

public struct Bar // Noncompliant
{
}

Compliant Solution

namespace SomeSpace
{
    public class Foo
    {
    }

    public struct Bar
    {
    }
}
