Question

I recently added a class I created with a tool to my Visual Studio 2010 project but I can’t call it in my codebehind file. I was told I need to check the namespace. How do I check and control a classes’s namespace?

Answer 1

Look at the code files:

Namespace Utilities

    Public Class Foo

    End Class

End Namespace

Namespace Utilities.Formatting

    Public Class DatesAndTimes

    End Class

End Namespace

Now, you have to make sure to add the following to any code page:

Imports Utilities
' and/or
Imports Utilities.Formatting

However, you can double-click on MyProject in the solution explorer in Visual Studio, and on the References tab, automatically Import the namespaces you want on all code pages without explicity typing “Imports ” on every code page.
