If you're using C# 6.0 or later, you could use using static.

For example,

using static ConsoleApplication.Developer;

namespace ConsoleApplication
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Global static function, static shorthand really 
            DeveloperIsBorn(firstName: "Foo", lastname: "Bar")
                .MakesAwesomeApp()
                .Retires();
        }
    }
}

namespace ConsoleApplication
{
    class Developer
    {
        public static Developer DeveloperIsBorn(string firstName, string lastname)
        {
            return new Developer();
        }

        public Developer MakesAwesomeApp()
        {
            return this;
        }

        public Developer InsertsRecordsIntoDatabaseForLiving()
        {
            return this;
        }

        public void Retires()
        {
           // Not really
        }        
    }
}

One more example:

using static System.Console;

namespace ConsoleApplication7
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            WriteLine("test");
        }
    }
}
