One common use of C++ #include I am looking for including file with using
statements. Typically in a big C# program I have to write around 15-20 using
statements on the top every file.

like-
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;
using blah blah blah

If I put these using statement in a single C# file and include in every C#
file. Life will be cool. Same problem with Java. Any alternate to this
problem or reason why we don't have this in C#?

If you're having to put 15-20 using statements at the top of every
file, chances are your classes are *way* too big. Very, very
occasionally I'll end up with about 10, but pretty much never more than
that.

I would suggest making your classes do less (but having more of them) -
that will make your code more maintainable and get rid of this problem,
both in one fell swoop.
