This extension helps organize C# using statements. Updated with bug fixes for 2024.
Features
Sorts usings in alphabetical order and removes duplicates.
Triggered via context menu or "Organize Usings" command.
Removes unnecessary usings (enabled by default but can be disabled).
Offers multiple configurable settings for formatting the usings section, see "Extension Settings" below.
Version History
(v1.0.4) Handle IDE0005 flavor of "unused usings" diagnostics from Roslyn to enable compatibility with the C# extension when OmniSharp is disabled.
(v1.0.3) Properly handle aliased using directives, without breaking places that use "using [type] [variableName] = whatever" syntax. Added some very basic unit testing coverage.
(v1.0.2) Better fix for editor jumpiness per Microsoft's recommendation to use TextEditorEdit.delete/insert instead of replace.
(v1.0.1) Fixed editor jumpiness when running "Organize Usings" on a file that needs no changes.
(v1.0.0) Now correctly removes unused usings when ALL of a classes usings are unnecessary & when there are extra blank lines between namespace groups (this was previously causing the wrong lines to be removed from the source file).
Extension Settings
sortOrder: Put namespaces in proper order. Values should be splitted with space. "System" by default.
splitGroups: Insert blank line between using blocks grouped by first part of namespace. True by default.
removeUnnecessaryUsings: Remove unnecessary usings if true. True by default.
numEmptyLinesAfterUsings: The number of empty lines would be preserved between using statements and code block
numEmptyLinesBeforeUsings: The maximum number of empty lines before using statements if there are characters, like comments, before usings.
