(C# 'Random' is a namespace but is used like a variable) I don't understand why

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Welcome To The Random.");    
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);

        choosing:

        Console.WriteLine("Roll Standard Dice (D), Flip a Coin (2), 8-Ball (8), or Random Number 1-10 (R)");

        ConsoleKeyInfo result = Console.ReadKey();    
        if ((result.KeyChar == 'D') || (result.KeyChar == 'd'))
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Standard Dice Has been chosen, do you want to continue? Y/N");    
            ConsoleKeyInfo RSD = Console.ReadKey();

            if ((RSD.KeyChar == 'Y') || (RSD.KeyChar == 'y'))
            {
                Console.Write("Rolling");    
                Console.Write(".");    
                Console.Write(".");    
                Console.Write(".");    
            }
            else if ((RSD.KeyChar == 'N') || (RSD.KeyChar == 'n'))
            {
                Console.Clear();
                goto choosing;
            }
        }
        else if ((result.KeyChar == '2'))
        {
            Console.WriteLine("I wont do anything");
        }
        else if ((result.KeyChar == '8'))
        {
        }
        else if ((result.KeyChar == 'R') || (result.KeyChar == 'r'))
        {
        }

        *Random* rnd = new *Random*();
    }
}

The parts in asterix are the part where it is a red line and it says Random is a namespace but it's used like a variable. The Random thing normally works but I'm not sure why it isn't working now if you could please help me that would be appreciated.

You're declaring a type with the same name as the namespace it's in. Don't do that. Change you namespace to some other name than Random

Your project's namespace is also Random, change it to some other name,

namespace Random

to

namespace Sample
