Importing a namespace in web service

[Peppi]

Hi,

I'm trying to import a namespace in my web service, but it is not being recognized. The applicable code for my namespace exists in the App_Code directory of my web site.

Does anyone know how I can get the namespace to be recognized?

Thx.

using My.NameSpace.For.This.Object;

if you cannot reference the namespace, then something is missing:
1. the assembly is not referenced
2. the object you want to reference is does not have the proper exposure (public/private/protected/internal...)
3. the namespace is spelled incorrectly

if the code is in the App_Code directory then it's either 2 or 3. by default objects are private unless otherwise stated
so
[tt]class Foo[/tt] is the same as [tt]internal class Foo[/tt] (I might have my accessors mixed up)

the ctor accessor my also play a role in the exposure.

public class Foo
{
   private Foo() {}
}

cannot be accessed without reflection.

It's not 2 or 3 as this class is referenced numerous times elsewhere in the application. I suspect it's related to the fact that the classes that reside in App_Code don't get compiled to a dll that resides in the bin directory. I've never written a web service before so I'm not sure if that's the case, or what to do about it. I don't want to have to move the code out of the App_Code directory.

it's not a name resolution conflict is it?
where you have the same object name in 2 different namespaces? then you would need to either fully qualify, or alias one of the objects.

other than that i'm stumped. not sure what to do in this case.
