Visual Studio or Resharper functionality for placement of using directives

Visual StudioResharperUsing Directives

Visual Studio Problem Overview

I like to put my using directives inside the current namespace, and not outside as VS and Resharper per default puts them.

Does anyone know of a macro/standard functionality that sorts/removes unused using directives and puts them inside the current namespace?

Visual Studio Solutions

Solution 1 - Visual Studio

UPDATE - ReSharper 2016.1: This option is now moved to Code Editing → C# → Code Style → Add 'using' directive to the deepest scope

Have you tried the ReSharper option:

Languages → C# → Formatting Style → Namespace Imports → Add using directive to the deepest scope

I'm not sure whether R#'s code cleanup will reorder the existing ones for you though.

Solution 2 - Visual Studio

In ReSharper 2020, go to Options and then:

> Code Editing → C# → Syntax Style → Add 'using' directive to deepest scope

Solution 3 - Visual Studio

As of version 8.2, this has moved. It is now here:

Within Visual Studio
Resharper -> Options...

Then in the Options dialog
Code Editing -> C# -> Namespace Imports -> Insert using directives when necessary -> Add using directive to the deepest scope

enter image description here

Solution 4 - Visual Studio

As of Resharper 9 this has moved into Code Editing => C# => Code Style => Reference Qualification => Add 'using' directive to deepest scope.

Or you can use new settings search facility and search for deepest scope. The exact setting will come up:

Add 'using' directive to deepest scope

Solution 5 - Visual Studio

StyleCop supports ReSharper integration starting from version 4.7.

From http://stylecop.codeplex.com/:

> 4.7 is compatible with JetBrains R#5.1( 5.1.3000.12), R#6.0 (6.0.2202.688), R#6.1 (6.1.37.86), R#6.1.1 (6.1.1000.82) and R#7.0 > (7.0.54.77) > > 4.7 is compatible with Visual Studio 2008, Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 11 > > This release includes the StyleCop ReSharper plugin (compatible with > ReSharper 5.1, 6.0, 6.1, 6.1.1 and 7.0)

Solution 6 - Visual Studio

I've edited my default visual studio templates to put my using directives inside the namespace.

For sorting and removing unused directives, I use Power Commands for Visual Studio 2008.

Solution 7 - Visual Studio

Update for Resharper 2020.1: This option can now be found in Options → Code Editing → C# → Syntax Style → Reference Qualification and 'using' Directives
