Minimalizing namespaces for custom functions
<p>I have a StringUtilities.cs file in the CommonFunctions Project that holds a UppercaseFirst function that Uppercases the first word in a string.  Currently in the .aspx.cs in a separate Project (in the same Solution) that is utilizing this function is called using <strong>MyProject.CommonFunctions.StringUtilities.UppercaseFirst("hello world");</strong></p>

<p>Is it possible to shorten it to just <strong>UppercaseFirst("hello world");</strong>  ?  Readability will be so much better.</p>

<p>StringUtilities.cs in the CommonFunctions Project:</p>

<pre><code>namespace MyProject.CommonFunctions
{
    public class StringUtilities
    {
        public static string UppercaseFirst(string s)
        {//blah code}
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>Default.aspx.cs</p>

<pre><code>using MyProject.CommonFunctions;
...
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     MyProject.CommonFunctions.StringUtilities.UppercaseFirst("hello world");
}
</code></pre>
