Create project / classes without newest C# features

So without going into details about the project itself, I need to be able to create projects without the default file scoped namespaces and global usings.

Also when I create a new class it gets a file scoped namespace by default... I've not found any setting that could change this behaviour.

Hello Glen,

Thank you for contacting Rider support.
Regrettably, it depends on project templates and can not be modified. However, there are the following options to solve this problem:

  • Target .NET 5.0 in your projects;
  • Creating a project that targets .NET 5. Then just change the `TargetFramework` in .csproj file to net6.0;
  • Use non-standart templates. You can create your own or use those that are shared by dotnet community. For example, here you can find this template for .NET 6 console project without the mentioned top-level statement and global using features. It is just like .net 5 default template but targets .NET 6.

Also, to create new classes with block-scoped namespaces, please set the `File | Settings | Editor | Code Style | C# | Syntax Style | Code Body | Namespaces` option to `Block-scoped`.

Hope it helps. Have a nice day!
