Find DLL name by having name of the Namespace

In the code there is a line like this:

Company.Security.Logs.LogEvent myLog = null;

Now in another project I want to do the same but I don't know which "reference" should I add to my project? So how do I know in which of the references in this project we have this Security class?

You can use Visual Studio "Go to Definition" (or F12) when the caret is over the name of the type, in this case, LogEvent. it will take you to a condensed API source file in the text editor that will have the first lines looking something like:

#region Assembly System.Windows.Forms.dll, v4.0.0.0
// C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.5\System.Windows.Forms.dll
#endregion

Right click on the class name in Visual Studio and Go to Declaration. This will take you either to a DLL view or code view, either of which will tell you which assembly the class lives in.
