Stop Visual Studio 2005 adding references to System.Data and System.XML

Question

Does anyone know how I can stop Visual Studio 2005 adding references to the System.Data and System.XML assemblies every time I add a class to a c# project? It does not use any of them and I need to remove them everytime I notice.

Thanks.

Do you mean namespaces or assemblies? – SLaks Jan 25 '11 at 16:09 — SLaks, Jan 25 '11 at 16:09

That's because Class template contains such. To edit it, open:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplatesCache\CSharp\Code\1033\Class.zip
\Class.vstemplate

and remove unnecessary references.

To remove unnecessary namespaces, edit:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplatesCache\CSharp\Code\1033\Class.zip
\Class.cs

Wouldn't this just be a case of altering the .cs template in Visual Studio and deleting the using statements you don't require? See here for more info:
