c# intellisense broken? or is it me?

[S Moran]

if i type "using System." (note the dot) i get a popup of options. I notice
that System.Net is not on the list. if i manually type System.Net my code
will compile and run, but there is no intellisense for any classes in
System.Net

am i missing something?

Hello!

if i type "using System." (note the dot) i get a popup of options. I
notice that System.Net is not on the list.

The System.Net namespace is part of System.Dll, so you don't need any
special references to use it. Thus, also Visual Studio's Intellisense should
find the namespace.

You didn't mention which Visual Studio version you are using, but you could
try restarting Visual Studio, that probably solves the issue. If not, try
creating a plain WinForms application, and see if it works there. In the
worst case, you might need to reinstall Visual Studio and the .NET
Framework, but if I were you, I wouldn't go this far given that you can
still manually enter the namespace name and compile/run your applications.
