  Define common namespaces in web.config

  May 06, 2012 03:36 PM|LINK

  Is it possible to define common namespaces in web.config so that I won't have to define it in every page like I have System.Data.OracleClient which i don't want to define or Import in every page

  Yes I think you can do it.

  You need to use namespace tag for this

  <pages>
     <namespaces>
        <add namespace="System" />
        <add namespace="System.Collections" />
        <add namespace="System.Collections.Specialized" />
        <add namespace="System.Configuration" />
        <add namespace="System.Text" />
        <add namespace="System.Text.RegularExpressions" />
        <add namespace="System.Web" />
        <add namespace="System.Web.Caching" />
        <add namespace="System.Web.SessionState" />
        <add namespace="System.Web.Security" />
        <add namespace="System.Web.Profile" />
        <add namespace="System.Web.UI" />
        <add namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls" />
        <add namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts" />
        <add namespace="System.Web.UI.HtmlControls" />
     </namespaces>
     <!-- Other elements -->
  </pages>
