title: Shared project - not compiling
body: <p>Recently I learned about shared projects and how I can separate large chunks of my code (ie: all my UI controls) into another area to clean my up main code without adding a dll to my execution path. AMAZING, except it only partially works.</p>
  
  <p>If I move code from my main project into the shared and change the namespace (to the shared one), things still work. But when I create a new file directly in the shared project, ONLY that file is able to see itself.</p>
  
  <p>It's only after closing VS multiple times, re-compiling, removing the shared project, sacrificing a chicken then maybe class is finally seen. MAJOR waste of time with not lessons learned. </p>
  
  <p>What is the fast route to getting my new file seen while still using shared projects?</p>
  
  <p>== Steps to reproduce</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Create a new project (WinForms, in this case)</p></li>
  <li><p>Create a shared project in the main project + add reference in main project</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Note, the shared project is in a sub-folder of the parent project, to keep things organized</li>
  </ul></li>
  <li>Create a class in shared project and try to use it in the min project</li>
  </ol>
