references

Question

In my project I am using somebody elses .dll library called theirLib which I do not know the inner workinngs. I have started with the using theirLib; now it is asking me to add references to my projct that is used by theirLib.dll but not by my project. Does not all the references from theirLib.dll automatically come over to my project when I include the using theirLib;??

It would seem obvious that when you add a using theirLib command you need all the references from the theirLib library. Therefore these references should be added automatically. How can I get to MS developers to request this be added on the next update?

You must add references to your project right clicking with mouse over References folder of your solution. Using only allow you to write shorty expressions like this: using System.Text; .... StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); is same as: ... System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder(); Federico
