#1,185 – Managing using Directives, part II

You can add missing using directives by using the Resolve command.  You can also clean up the current list of using directives in a file, removing the ones that are no longer needed.

You can remove unneeded using directives by clicking anywhere within a file and selecting Organize Usings | Remove Unused Usings.

In the example below, we start out with 20 using directives at the top of the file.

1159-001

We then select Remove Unused Usings.

1159-002

After we execute this command, we’re left with only four using directives at the top of the file.

    Good tips to remove the unused using statements. One question: Does it make the program running faster if the unused using statements are removed?
