[Mono-list] About intellisense, mono, emacs

[Alan Tam]

Dear Maurizio,

Unlike Java, which uses the filesystem and classpath to look for classes, C#
uses the assembly scheme. As a result, except during compilation and exeuction,
you never know where a class is, given its name and namespace.

What you can do is to make this a configuration parameter of the project, so
that you know where to look for the source files of the same assembly, or the
binaries of the assemblies you are referencing.

Regards,
Alan
