swagger error: Conflicting schemaIds: Duplicate schemaIds detected for types A and B

Question

Using Web API and using swashbuckle to generate swagger documentation, I defined two different classes with the same name in two different namespaces. when I open swagger page in my browser it says

Conflicting schemaIds: Duplicate schemaIds detected for types A and B. See the config setting - "UseFullTypeNameInSchemaIds" for a potential workaround

full message:

I don't want to change my classes' names. How can I fix it?

I finally found a way in swagger configs. Go to App_Start\SwaggerConfig.cs file and under EnableSwagger lambda expression add this line:

c.SchemaId(x => x.FullName);

Full code is like this:

GlobalConfiguration.Configuration 
    .EnableSwagger(c =>
    {
        // your configs...

        c.SchemaId(x => x.FullName);

        // other configs...
    })
    .EnableSwaggerUi(c =>
        // ....
    });
