Prevent Visual Studio from adding default references and usings for new classes
Whenever I add a new class to a Visual Studio (C#) project, I get the following usings automatically: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; Additionally, the following DLL references are added if they weren't there already: System.Core System.Data System.Xml I'd like to prevent VS from doing this (except "using System" of course). Does any one know of a way to prevent this from happening? Marc and Brian both have a good idea: create a new custom template that includes only the usings and references I want. With Export Template it's really simple
