How to change the default "using" for blank classes in c#?

Dj_Jestar · 14 Jan 2009 at 15:40

I'd like to change which "using"s are auto-added to my blank classes in VS2008 (defo 2008 this time, in case anyone read my last thread

) at the moment the default are System, System.Collections.Generic, System.Linq, and System.Text, in case people are not sure what I mean.

Can't find anything on/in help and have rooted around the settings.. does anyone know?

Much obliged.

Try this:

Would be good if there were a way to do it from within VS though.

There's a lot of things that would be good to be able to do.. there's a lot of useful features I have spotted that VS would benefit greatly from. One that I have thought would be already in VS is when creating a subclass of an abstract class or interface, that it automatically creates the required override definitions for you (blank for the moment of course) .. unless it does and I just don't know how it does this.

Ineed it does: right click on the derived class/interface name after the colon and there's an option to implement the abstract class or interface
