Does anyone else think that the add view dialog in VS is useless or is it just me?
Why is there no search/filtering in there? I can not even paste the type name (without namespace) there to speed up the view creation.
Plus, there are a lot of irrelevant classes there, including classes from all referenced libraries.
Am I missing something or Microsoft never did any usability testing with that??
Is it possible to filter out types/assemblies in the dialog and/or better navigation compared to manually scrolling the combobox with all the types listed? Is it possible to include only types from a particular directory/assembly/namespace? (the ViewModels namespace for example)
EDIT: As it seems from the answers that there is no usable workaround for this, I have filed a suggestion at Connect: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=507784
Please vote for the suggestion if you find this is an important issue.
Resharper 5.0 implements this dialog very efficiently, solving all the described problems.
