Is it possible to use the 'using' statement in my aspx views? (ASP.NET MVC)

This likely applies to non MVC too. But, Is it possible to use the 'using' statement in my aspx views?

Reason is that I hav开发者_运维问答e the pages reference resource files for localised strings. And some of these resource references are quite long - it's really cluttering my code.

Since most of the time these resources are in a namespace specifially for the view, I'd just like to put a 'using Resources.This.that' at the top of the page. I don't seem to be able to though - is there a way?

Thanks

Do you mean like

<%@ Import namespace="MyProgram.MyNamespace" %>

Also, inside the root <configuration> tag of web.config, you can add:

<system.web>    
    <pages>
       <namespaces>
          <add namespace="System" />
          <add namespace="System.Collections" />
          <add namespace="System.Collections.Specialized" />
          <add namespace="System.Configuration" />
          <add namespace="System.Text" />
          <!-- etc -->
       </namespaces>
    </pages>
</system.web>
