Can I declare namespaces in the web.config so that I don't have to write using statements for each namespace in each of my codebehind files?

A:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<pages>
<namespaces>
<add namespace="MyNamespaces.NamespaceName" />
</namespaces>
</pages>
</system.web>
</configuration>
MyNamespaces.NamespaceName will be now available for all of your pages in project.

@kumar: Oh, this only works for UI code (.ascx files and whatnot) - you'll always need to import the namespaces in .cs files. Automagical importing is a messy VB feature which shouldn't exist anyways, so it's not available for C#.

A:
You can do this for namespaces or common controls:
<system.web>
<pages>
<namespaces>
<add namespace="The.Namespace" />
</namespaces>
<controls>
<add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="System.Web.UI" etc... />
</controls>
</pages>
</system.web>
