Coming from a VB background and being forced to learn C# I have hit

  • 0

Coming from a VB background and being forced to learn C# I have hit the first hurdle.

In VB i could put all the namespaces I wanted available across the entire app in the web.config file and it would be available in each code behind file without me having to add import statements. 

<namespaces> <clear/> <add namespace='System'/> <add namespace='System.Collections'/> <add namespace='System.Collections.Generic'/>

It seems Visual Studio can’t do this with C# and I have to add using statements all over the place.

Please tell me I’m missing something obvious and there is a way to get this done.

  1. For C#, the namespaces entered in the web.config will be recognized in .aspx files, but not codebehind. I don’t think it will take you long to adjust (Ctrl-. will let you quickly add a namespace when you type a class name that doesn’t have the namespace referenced).
