New Topic/Question
Reply
I implemented a windows form application controlling a robot. One of the classes there (IRO) contains all the variables concerning the robot (i.e. battery power, sensors readings, etc..) and I would like to write it in a different file. I use VS08 for this.
What I did was adding a new item-->class, copy the IRO class from the Form1.cs (which contains all the methods for the app to work) into it. I took care to put it in the same namespace as the rest of the code, Iro_Prog and added a using directive :
using Iro_Prog
When i try to compile, it gives me the following error:
Error 1 The type or namespace name 'Iro_prog' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) \\CONTROL19\eranroi\Iro_gui\Iro_ver_1\Iro_ver_1\Form1.cs 13 7 Iro_ver_1
After looking through the "Professional C# 2008" book trying to find the reason for my problem, as well as going over this forum's topics (I found this :http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/topic/176297-how-do-i-compile-2-c%23-source-files-together-on-win7/ vut it's not quite the same problem...) I decided to ask for help. Any insight about where I went wrong would be appreciated,
Here are the relevant code snippets (I didn't put all of the code here, because it is really long, and i don't think it is relevant. If you think it will help you to better help me I will of course post all of it):
The Original file:

and here is how I want it to be:

Second file (Class1.cs):
