Is there any difference between these two using declarations ?

namespace myNamespace
{
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    public class myClass
    {
    }
}

AND

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace myNamespace
{
   public class myClass
   {
   }
}

The second one is considered "correct" and is a place where your colleagues would expect it to be. So even if there would be no differences (I don't know because I have never tried the first way), use the second one.

    Interestingly we're using version 1 at work and no one ever bothered. The official C# style guidelines also prefer version 2: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/w2a9a9s3.aspx - But I think as long as you're consistant it does not matter which you use. – JustAnotherUserYouMayKnow Jun 10 '13 at 07:04
