Object Browser has multiple System namespaces

Question

I am trying to use the System.Diagnostics.Process class, so I put the standard "using System.Diagnostics;" line at the beginning of my file. However, intellisense won't show me the GetProcesses() method. So, I went to the object browser, and there are two places that have the System.Diagnostics namespace, namely mscorlib and System.

How do I get Visual Studio to understand where the Process class is located so that it will show me all the methods when using intellisense ?

I tried adding it to my references, but it doesn't even show up in the .NET list.

It's true that the System.Diagnostics namespace has members in both the mscorlib.dll and system.dll assemblies though the Process class is in the latter. Provided your project has a reference to system.dll (which I think it should have though you can check) then I'd have thought that intellisense should be able to pick up the members of the Process class as soon as you type Process. or some variable of that type followed by a .
