wdym for usings?

i like to store all my usings in 1 class like this; i was wondering if there way any way to have these usings be shared between 2 projects, instead of each project having their own file for it

You can look into shproj s ? Afaik that’s sorta the only way to have something that solves your issue But idk it seems like a workaround to just copy-paste

not rlly even an issue, was just wondering if there was a better way to do it rather than having to copypaste yeah

you can add these global usings in the csproj

<ItemGroup>
    <Using Include="Newtonsoft.Json" />
    <Using Include="System.Text" /> 
    <!-- add all the ones you want -->
</ItemGroup>

<ItemGroup>
    <Using Include="Newtonsoft.Json" />
    <Using Include="System.Text" /> 
    <!-- add all the ones you want -->
</ItemGroup>

to share it for all your projects, you can put this inside a Directory.Build.props file, which will apply it automatically to your projects https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/customize-by-directory?view=vs-2022
