Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember a handy feature in Visual Assist X in the VS.NET 2003 IDE, which would bring up 2 suggestions for type names entered if they weren't available because there was no using directive. One being the fully qualified name, the other being the option to add the Using directive.

I know this feature now exists in VS 2008, but seems to have disappeared from Visual Assist X completely. Was this intended to be removed only from the 2008 IDE, since it duplicated an existing feature, but was also unintentionally removed from the 2003 IDE, or did the feature have to be dropped alltogether due to it's official inclusion on the 2008 IDE?

I only hope that inquiry made sense ;)

(edit) FWIW, this worked on the 1640 build.

I am seeing the same problem here, this is a regression, not a deliberate change:

case=18881

Yes, I'm using C#.

Hmm, possibly a bug, then?

If you have VS.NET 2003, do this with 1645 or later:

Create a new class library project. Go to the newly created class file. Inside the class begin typing a line such as:

public Hashtable whatever;


It will bring up a a suggestion list when you start typing hashtable, suggesting the variable. I usually hit the tab key at this point to finish it. On 1640 it brings up a second suggestion list containing the using statement, the Icon next to it looks like a the icon for a VA Snippet. On later builds, it brings up a second list, but it contains only the entry for Hashtable by itself, no suggestion for System.Collections.Hashtable, and no suggestion for using System.Collections.

What language are you programming in? I am guessing C#.

I am not aware that the VA suggestion has been removed.
