Visual Studio will do that with assemblies that your project has references to. Use a type whose namespace isn’t already included, but is available via the referenced assemblies. If you mouseover it, you’ll get a little popup in the bottom, left corner of the symbol. That will let you automatically pull in the appropriate using.
