Michael,

>Is there any way to include a file of using statements if you are using them across your application.

There isn't, though I've asked the C# team for this!

>Also, I've learned that if the intellisense doesn't come up on entry of commands I've probably done something wrong.

Very true...if you type the dot "." and you don't get IntelliSense, something is awry! The same is true for automatic indenting!
