As I have blogged about in the past, the Add Reference dialog in Visual Studio is still pretty terrible in VS2010.

Anyone that’s used ReSharper will instantly recognise the approach – just hit Ctrl+. for the VS2010 Smart Tag on something you don’t currently have referenced, and voila – an option to automatically add the reference and the corresponding using statement:
Simple and effective – I haven’t had any problems with it since I installed it last week – go and give it a whirl
I’m a firm believer that reading and “best practices” are no substitute for using your brain!
