Derek, great! That's I wanted.

 

But this command doesn't work with:

 

'Select-String' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

 

Thanks,

Hi Andrew,

You'll need Powershell installed and/or run it through the Powershell command (powershell.exe). Sounds like you ran the command with cmd.exe

The cmd.exe is a bit limited but this cmd might be a way forward

findstr /s/r "^using" *.cs

Hi,

Use Grep or even Powershell.....

dir -r -filter *.cs | Select-String -pattern "^using" | Select-Object -expand Line -unique  | Format-List -property Line

Run the above in a solutions root directory and ... well here is one I just ran. Just pipe it into a file.

using System;
using MbUnit.Framework;
using AcceptanceTests.DLL;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
using NUnit.Framework;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;

Man I love the command line.

Type[] types = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetTypes(); //This will give you the fully qualified types, you can extract the namespaces from that, waiting for the clever Francis way

Also you can printscreen the object explorer and run it by an ocr (joking)

Once you have all the types, you can select all distinct namespaces:

types.Select(t=>t.Namespace).Distinct()

Hello,

How about using the Find and Replace feature of Visual Studio ? :p

In the find options, select Use "Regular Expressions" and find "using .*;"

Eyal, Regards.

Thanks, Serguey & Louis. I can't get the namespace because the assemblies didn't register.Thanks,
