Please try the following steps:

1. Create a new editorconfig File in your project

2. Open the editorconfig File, find the perferred 'using' directive placemen in Code Style and adjust it to inside namespace

3. Save the editorconfig File, and then you will put the using directive in the namespace when you create the class again.

Finally, you also need to refer to Should "using" directives be inside or outside a namespace in C#?. Because usually stylecop will not check the code outside the namespace
