You have to add a Reference to the assembly (right click on the Reference folder on your project) , and then on your source code use the following:

Hope that helps.

The concept of "include" files does not exist in C#.  A similar, but altogether different, functionality is achieved through the use of the "using" keyword. 

The C# compiler does not make as many passes through the code as what is done with C++.  You do not need to declare something in a file before you use it either, which was the pont of "#include".  This means the compiler does not care in what order stuff is written in the file, or in which order the files are processed.  Makes for tidier looking files.Mark the best replies as answers.

Hi, thanks for the replies. I have found the problem. I am using ASP.NET with c# and you can create 2 types of projects, a web application and a website. I am using the website option where I just could not get the compliler to recognise classes in other files. I have just tried a web application project and indeed the compiler has a path to classes in other files and there is no problem. I have found the problem, in the website option, you have to put all your code files in a folder called App_Code and then the compiler recognises classes in other files! I don't know what the designers of ASP.NET were thinking of when they did that!

cheers bye
