Question

I’m planning to utilize the global import for System.Data package. After I added the

<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %> 

in the markup of global.asax

In one of my class I removed ‘Using System.Data’ on top of the code.
I built the global.asax and the class.

But instead of built successful, I received error

The name ‘CommandType’ does not exist in the current context.

I think you might need to import the System.Data.SqlClient namespace too, assuming that’s a command object it’s failing on.

EDIT

If you want certain namespaces available to all pages, try adding them in the web.config instead:

<pages>
    <namespaces>
        <add namespace="System.IO" />
        <add namespace="ProjectName.Classes" />
    </namespaces>
</pages>
