References VS Imports

[Adam Knight]

Hi all,

Just a quick question.

When developing with VS obviously it adds references to particular dlls by
default when creating a project.
IE System, System.Data ect

My question is:
As System.Data.SqlClient is missing from the default references, what is the
standard in developing in visual studio.
Add a reference to the missing files or use the 'Imports' statement.

Is their a general trend out there in this regard?

Cheers,
Adam

I prefer to add it to the References to ensure I get IntelliSense support.
Not sure that one reply amounts to a trend, but there you go. <grin>
