Intellisense Options

122 100+
Ok being a newbie I now understand that if you add the correct reference you can pull up further options in the intellisense...

so when you are saying

using System;
using System.Data;

how do you find out what you have to use to pull up:

using Utilities.Text;??????

Then you have to search for its namespace by the method's name. If you know the property is Text then you should go to msdn and search for all class that have that property.

I wish there was a more definite way of doing this...in VB9 (Visual Studio 2008) there's a neat feature that will automatically tell you what namespace a reference comes from so if you had:

Dim oFile As File

Without the Imports/Using statement the File reference would crap out on you and underline the reference to File complaining that you haven't referenced the object properly. In Visual Studio 2008 if you right click the reference it tells you that the reference comes from the namespace System.IO which is awesome - on top of this it asks you if you want to add it as well so all you have to do is click Yes...too bad there's no plugin for previous versions of Visual Studio that does this.

For all that you should at least know what you are doing or what you are trying to do.

Please go through some good books for all that .
