You could implement an md5sum check, so it will only recompile when the ui 
file was changed. AFAIK the framework has an implementation of md5.

QT_BEGIN_NAMESPACE and QT_END_NAMESPACE are only applicable in C++ and they 
require a full rebuild of Qt.

No, currently the namespace is hardcoded in uics. We can add it as a command 
line option, if you require that. Please file a wishlist bug, then.
Another possibility would be to create an alias in C# with

using Foo = Ui;

You can then access your user interfaces with Foo.MyForm.

What's the problem with the Ui namespace? Do you already have a Ui namespace?
