Html is off. [quote][i]Originally posted by meissnersd[/i] [br]My buddy is a fan of ReSharper and we were comparing that with Visual Assist X. Kind of a "who's is better" session Anyway one feature he hit me with is if a C# type name is not recognized and if it is a well known type but not imported by the using block, when his cursor is on the offending typename he gets a little dropdown that allows the using namespace; to be automatically added at the top. Example: if I just type Thread t = new Thread( mymethod ); it would notice that System.Threading namespace needs to be added to the using block at the top and give you a fast control to just add it. I think it also adds System assemblies to the references section as needed... It would have to be sophisticated since simple types can easily collide in namespaces, (which is the whole point of namespaces) but you can give the user several choices in a dropdown, similar to when they start type an identifier with multiple matches . And it would have to be user driven. The system guessing wrong and automatically inserting stuff would be annoying. Karl [/quote]   Check to include your profile signature.
