Using a specific class when there is a namespace ambiguity

I have a class called Message. It is located inside MyProgram namespace. The problem is that System.Windows.Forms has also a Message class, so whenever I want to use classes from both of the namespaces, I need to write MyProgram.Message to refer to my class, which is very tedious.

I hoped this line could work:

using static Message = MyProgram.Message;

but I get the following error:

a 'using static' directive cannot be used to declare an alias

Is there a way to force the code to recognize Message as MyProgram.Message? Also, changing my class's name is not a real solution. :P

using static is for static members, not nested types.

A regular using directive will work fine.

using Message = MyProgram.Message;
