I am currently stuck trying to add my own class file into ASP.NET MVC project, so it could
be referenced by my controller. But Visual studio 2010 always complain about “The type or name ‘Products’ could not be found (are your missing a using directive or assembly reference?)
I am not sure where to put my class file and tried add the class to Models or Controllers directory, and it wouldn’t work either. My the class is under the right namespace, and I did reference the Models namespace in my Controller. It could be something obvious, but I couldn’t get it working:(
Make sure that the “Build Action” property of the file is set to “Compile” in Visual Studio. Perhaps when you initially added the file, you added it to a location or added it as a file type that did not automatically set the build action properly.
