Namespace reference from Web.Config

Question

Can I declare namespaces in the web.config file so that I don't have to write using statements for each namespace in each of my codebehind files?

Answer 1

 <configuration> <system.web> <pages> <namespaces> <add namespace="MyNamespace" /> </namespaces> </pages> </system.web> </configuration> 

Is this what you are looking for?

Answer 2

 <?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <system.web> <pages> <namespaces> <add namespace="MyNamespaces.NamespaceName" /> </namespaces> </pages> </system.web> </configuration> 

MyNamespaces.NamespaceName will now be available for all of your pages in the project.

Answer 3

You can do this for namespaces or general controls:

 <system.web> <pages> <namespaces> <add namespace="The.Namespace" /> </namespaces> <controls> <add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="System.Web.UI" etc... /> </controls> </pages> </system.web>
