Title Body

I love the "Resolve" feature in visual studio. Typical scenario: Type in Debug Type . Notice that no intellisense appears Right-click Select Resolve Choose using System.Diagnostics or System.Diagnostics.Debug Beautiful. Use it all the time. Extension method scenario: Type in var maxNumber = new int[] {1, 2, 3, 4} Type . Notice that intellisense brings up array methods but no LINQ extension methods Manually type Max() Right-click Max() No Resolve to be found Right click on int[] Still no Resolve to be found Begrudgingly scroll to the top of the page and enter using System.Linq; * *assuming you know it by heart, otherwise wrack your brains or try to look it up Implementation idea: If this feature were to be invented, one idea would be for the first intellisense item that appears when I type . to read, <extension methods...> , and if I click that item, it brings up a Resolve list of all namespaces that contain extension methods for the class in question. Couple questions: Is this feature slated for future editions of Visual Studio? Any workarounds/tips for finding the extension methods (and the corresponding namespace) that might be available for a particular class?
