Question

I have a class library file that is not is not getting picked up when I add it to the reference and bin folder.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Data;

namespace SecuritySettings
{
     public class Security
     {
          ...
          public Security()
          {...}    
     }
}

Is there something that I am not doing behind the scene or something else?

Try checking your .csproj fie (open in notepad) for the reference and ensure the path is correct.

Also, instead of copying the file directly into the bin folder (which is genrally bad as this is the folder Visual Studio deploy built dll’s into), create a new folder in your project (for example a folder called ‘libs’) and reference it from there.
