My new favorite feature of Visual Studio is the ability to click on a typename and have it automatically add the using/imports statement for me. It won’t do it if you don’t have the assembly already referenced, but otherwise this is a huge time saver for me…I don’t know why I never noticed it before.
UPDATE: The VB version of this feature will not add the import but allows you to change the name to best guesses (or a fully specified) type name.
