This method does not determine whether the proper references exist so that the namespace is meaningful.

In the development environment, to check whether an import has been successfully added, choose the Properties command from the Project menu. In the left pane of the Project Property Pages dialog box, choose the Imports folder under Common Properties, and then examine the Project imports list.
