VB.NET : SharePoint Solution Template in Visual Studio

When we create a solution for SharePoint(like a feature) then when we use SharePoint Empty project template in visual studio 2008 then it creates a default namespace VeWSE instead of the solution name.

default namespace

So, when we activate feature or inherit another class in that then we have get the error “systemexceptionempty”. Because we provide

ControlAssembly="CustomActionControlClass, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=abf59b3ca9443f64"
ControlClass="CustomActionControlClass.MyCustomAction"
in element.xml file. And the actual namespace is VeWSE.Namespace.ClassName.

Workaround

Delete the default namespace from that project properties.
