Visual studio : Remove and sort using except the System reference

Question

When I use the option : Organize Usings -> Remove and sort from Visual Studio 2008 I would like to clear all unused references but to keep some like System; Is there an option I can set to do that ?

Answer 1

No, unfortunately there is not.

If you really need it, perhaps you could build your own plugin for Visual Studio to do it.

Answer 2

I think that the only way to keep your unused references is to reference them in your code, unfortunately.
