Namespace in VB.Net

I have created an enterprise template project MCMSystem under my Visual basic .net solution. Under which I have various projects such as DataAccess Which has a class patient and others. I have created this class under the namespace MCMSystem.DataAccess. Now when I want to access this class from another project in the solution I have to give the import statement as imports DataAccess.MCMSystem.DataAccess.Patient and not as MCMSystem.DataAccess.Patient

How can I resolve this.

[QUOTE=hhpatanwala] I have created this class under the namespace MCMSystem.DataAccess.QUOTE]
this class created under the namespace is an internal class right?(pardon me, but i am asking from the C# perspective.)
