instantiating a .aspx.cs class in a .cs class

[lumstar]

Hi there,

I have a .cs class devsAuthor located in my web projects App_code folder. I am trying to create an instance of a web form (addauthor.aspx, addauthor.aspx.cs) so that I can call it's functions. however I get an error when i try to declare the form as follows:

namespace.addauthor authPage;

the error is "The type or namespace add author does not exist in the namespace 'namespace' (are you missing an assemblyt reference?)

I can't figure why this won't work since both classes are members of the same namespace and located in the same project.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Lumstar
