How to use 'Using' keyword in ASP.NET page without code behind

Question

I want to include some namespaces with their classes in my asp.net application. It is possible with using keyword ?

I have this:

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">

    <%
       SomeNamespace.Models.NewsModel getNewsDetail = ViewData["NewsDetail"] as SomeNamespace.Models.NewsModel;

       if ( getNewsDetail != null ) {
            %>
            <h2>'<%= getNewsDetail.NewsTitle%>' details</h2>
            <div class="discipline-details">
            <ul>
            <li>
            <h3> <%= getNewsDetail.NewsTitle%></h3>            
            <p><%= getNewsDetail.NewsDescription%></p>
            </li>
            </ul>
            </div>
    <%
          } else {
         %> <p class="error">No news is available. Below is listed the available news.</p>
         <div id="home-news">

        </div>
          <%
          }
     %>

</asp:Content>

I used MVC2 architecture ...

I want to use directly the class NewsModel getNewsDetail = ViewData["NewsDetail"] as NewsModel.

Thank you and sorry if my question is poor.

Too much logic in the View, you should create a custom HTML helper for that. — Reigo Hein, Dec 09 '11 at 07:40
I totaly agree with Reigo Hein a whole class in your view ... — Ruben, Dec 09 '11 at 07:45
@Reigo: how to create own helper and where ? I have to create a new class which has a TagBuilder method ? or how ? — Snake Eyes, Dec 09 '11 at 08:29
Yeah, you have to create a TagBuilder which takes in a HTMLHelper property and parameters that you define. — Reigo Hein, Dec 09 '11 at 09:46

Use Import at the top of the view:

<%@ Import Namespace="SomeNamespace" %>

You can add

<%@ Import Namespace="The.Namespace" %>

at the top of the view but there seems to be something wrong with the original idea. You should probably use strongly typed view.
