Silverlight Tip of the Day #24 – Resolving Unknown Objects in VS

If want to use an object but are not certain what namespace it belongs to you can quickly look it up with the following 2 steps:

  • Right click on the object in question.
  • From the context menu, choose Resolve.

  • Click on the object in question
  • Ctrl + period to invoke the context menu.

From here, you can choose to either add a using statement of the namespace to the top of your file or to prepend the namespace to the object as seen in the screenshot below:
