One of the things I love about Visual Studio 2008 is the ability to refactor and reorganize the "using" statements in source code files (this may have been in 2005 as well, I don't remember).

There are many projects, which all compile to .lib, and I'm trying to build the exe of the test project for a set of projects.

I have a web part that uses PortalSiteMapProvider to query the Sharepoint navigation hierarchy, but unit tests written for that code fail, because the code is being run outside the Sharepoint context and thus no site map providers are available.
