This is probably a really silly question, but I can't seem to find an answer for it. In my model classes, I always have to add in a couple of lines of using statements - for example

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations

Is there any way to have that namespace included automatically in every model class so I don't have to type it in every time?

Thanks

Your question is similar to this one The answer in that question is you have 4 options:

  • edit it manually
  • live with it
  • change the class template (or export a second class template)
  • create the file outside the sub-directory, then drag it in

To achieve that you will need to create custom visual studio item template:

This namespace is used for the validation attributes. I tend to write out a property in my class, and add an attribute, e.g. RequiredAttribute.

I type [Required, and after the d Visual Studio puts a little square at the bottom of the line. Hit Ctrl + . and you'll get a context menu that will add the required using statement for you. So you don't ever have to type it out by hand.
