missing assembly reference

[dushkin]

hi. i have a solution with two project folders in it:

solution1 (namespace MyName)
---project1 (myctl.cs)
---project2 (myfile.cs)

project 1 has a control in it that is called from
project 2. the reference outside of the immediate
project gives me an error:

The type or namespace name 'myctl' does not exist in the class or namespace 'MyName' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

how do i include solution class files that are not
in the immediate project folder?

thanks in advance,
peter

In Visual Studio right, in the Solution Explorer window, right-click on the solution and then Add Reference. The .NET tab will be selected. Click the browse button and select the .dll in the bin folder of the application you wish to reference. You can then access the types within the referenced application.

Hi Rob, thanks for the reply.
Yes, i checked for that - i should have mentioned that. The intended output of this program is a .dll file as a toolbox control. I am not sure if that matters. In the bin file there is no .dll file to reference. does that mean that the project is half-baked? I am attempting to compile the logincontrol from here:

thanks again.

hi. i figured this out by moving the control into my own project folder and not including it as a toolbox control.
