Redundant namespace reference

• Apr 29, 2019

CodeRush Classic shows the Redundant namespace reference code issue if a namespace reference (using/Imports statements in C# and VB) is never used in the current file.

Fix

Remove the unused namespace reference.

Purpose

Highlights the using (Imports) statements, which can be removed to improve code readability.

Example

C#

using System;
using │System.Drawing;

namespace MySolution
{
    public class MyClass
    {
        public MyClass(string name)
        {
            Name = name;
        }
        public string Name { get; private set; }
        public object Value { get; set; }
    }
}

Fix:

C#

using System;

namespace MySolution
{
    public class MyClass
    {
        public MyClass(string name)
        {
            Name = name;
        }
        public string Name { get; private set; }
        public object Value { get; set; }
    }
}
