Problem instantiating form classes created in other C# project

[Jacobus01]

Does anybody know why I can't instantiate a form in my program.cs class. I'm developing a solution with multiple projects. Some are win form applications, some are class libraries and some are web applications. In this case i'm working with a win forms application. I have created forms in another project and I wish to add them to a the new win form project. Intellisense is not picking up the class names. I've also made sure that the forms use the correct namespace but with no success. Help please!

Have you added the other project to the current project's references?

Have you added the other project(s) to thi project's references? Have you added the correct using (s) at the top of the file (or used fully qualified names)?

No. I'm trying to merge the two projects into one project. There is an existing project and I'm just adding the form classes. Not the project itself. By just adding the new project and setting the references I'm able to access those forms that i need. Unfortunately my bosses don't want the solution working in that way. thus I'm forced to merge the two. I'm adding the forms classes under a folder and not in the root of the project. I can even view them in the designer. I've never encountered this problem before.

How about the .designer.cs file? Does that have the correct namespace? If none of that works, temporarily comment out any references to the merged forms, clean the solution and do a rebuild. If none of that works, I give up, although obviously you can't.

The .designer.cs files all contain the correct namespace. I've tried rebuilding - no success. Cleaned the solution as well. Strange thing is that I can't access the folder in my using directives.

Is it a permissions/trust thing? If one machine is Vista and the other XP, this can cause problems.

No, both projects reside om one machine running xp. I'm going to create new forms in the current project and rename them exactly the same as the forms in the other project and then attempt to replace them. Hopefully this'll work.

Good old brute-force! :-D
