How do I determine what assembly a namespace is in?

Question

The MSDN documentation doesn't generally specify the assembly a namespace is in, so there's no easy way to add the necessary assembly reference.

NOTE: I am using MonoDevelop, so right-click, resolve is not an option.

Take a look at this example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd321424(VS.100).aspx

Task(Of TResult) Class

Represents an asynchronous operation that can return a value.

Namespace: System.Threading.Tasks

Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Namespaces can cross multiple assemblies, so you need to look for the assembly a specific class is in.
