Project-level Imports?

[Arthur Dent]

Hi all, I am wondering, how do you do project level imports in an ASP.NET 2
project?

In Studio 2003 rightclicking the project and hitting properties, there was a
section to specify imports for the whole project.
This does not seem to exist though in 2005, so now i have to do an Imports
line in every single code file where i want a common import?

That seems kinda hokey. Surely there must be a way still to do global
imports for a project in 2005, no?

Thanks in advance,

specify the import in the web.config. asp.net 2.0 use the aspnet compiler,
which gets its info from the web.config. the import option of vb is a
compiler option, the vs2003 specified on the compile. with asp.net you
should be able to find the compiler option in the compilers sections.

Yes, thank you.... looking into the web.config i found where you were
talking about. Sticking them in there worked like a charm.
Even BETTER in fact now that VS2005 actually gives you intellisense on them
in the aspx pages as well as in the .vb pages!! COOL!

Thanks!
