Using Statements vs Namespace path? C#

Question

I recently stopped using using-statements and instead use the full namespace path of any .net object that I call.

Example:

using System;    

namespa         


        

Answer 1

There's no performance impact; it's mostly a stylistic choice. I find that using using statements reduces the clutter. Plus, with Intellisense, it's easy enough to see the fully qualified namespace.
