While working on a NIEM parser library I found that you can import XML namespaces at the project level. Previously I posted about doing this at the top of your .VB class file:
Imports <xmlns:nc="http://niem.gov/niem/niem-core/2.0">
That allows you to use the prefix nc: in LINQ queries to work with NIEM documents. Well today I discovered you can add those at the project level. Right click your project and go to properties. In the properties window go to references. Near the bottom you can type / paste your name space in (leave out the imports statement of course) and then click add user reference. Voila! You can now use that in any class in your project.
