Add Search support for Add Reference

Visual Studio 2010 now comes packed with too many assemblies. The list of assemblies to pick from in the Add Reference dialog is now a little too large for my taste. Today, while browsing around in the Visual Studio 2010 Extension Manager, I found the Search References extension:

After installing it my Add Reference dialog now looks like this:

And typing in the search box instantly filters the list of assemblies. Nice. Microsoft should have provided this out of the box! It is also a nice sample of how extensible Visual Studio is.

I would recommend this plugin: visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/.../d0d33361-18e2-46c0-8ff2-4adea1e34fef
It enables you to add and remove references without having to close the window each time (now when you click an assembly and click add, the window closes).

One caveat on this one, since you are Belgian, I suppose you use QWERTY: kristofmattei.be/.../

Update on that last one, since you might use *AZERTY*, you can edit my post Smile
