How to find the namespace a class belongs to?

[Doru Roman]

Hi,

I try to use Process to open a Word document from my application.
The problem is I don't know what namespace to use in the Using statement so
that :

Process myProcess = new Process();

is recognized.
If I use Help it is useless, it doesn't tell me anything at all about it.
Thanks,
Doru

Doru,

Check the System.Diagnostics namespace.

Also, if you right click on Process in your code in VS.NET 2005, it will
have an option to "Resolve" which will place the using statement in your
code.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Nicholas. I use .NET 2002 which doesn't have a Resolve option. So in
general, how can I find out to what namespace a class belongs to? You
"Resolved" me this time, but it would be nice if I knew a way to find out
any other class where it comes from, using the tools that .NET offers.

Thanks Ravi. But how can I find out by myself, using whatever tools .NET
2002 or 2003 offers?

Go to http://msdn.microsoft.com.

Type "Process" in the search box.

Choose one of the links that comes up with documentation about the
Process class. (When I did it, "Process.GetCurrentProcess Method"
showed up second.)

The only annoying part of this is that I guess everyone is after .NET
2.0 documentation now, because the http://msdn2.microsoft.com
documentation keeps coming up. I can't even find the old .NET 1.1
documentation any more.

Nonetheless, this will tell you want you need to know.

To show the classes and namespaces: View | Other Windows | Object Browser

I would use F1 and filter the help, by selecting only .Net Framework
(to filter my search results and only show the library, that's what you
want)...
In fact, I did this to answer this post...

I went to

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp

then in the search typed "Process class". The search found "Process
Class (.Net Framework SDK)". Clicking on this will show you what you
want, and a whole lot more. In particular, the namespace is listed in
black, bold (not a link).
