How to use external projects in an ASP.NET project
<p>UPDATE : 
It turned out that the project I was referring to was a console app.  Rebuilding it as a class library was the solution.</p>

<p>I guess this should be an easy one : </p>

<p>I have only just started ASP.NET and for now need it only as a tool for some  quick intranet reporting.  I have an existing project that supplies the data, but I am not able to refer to it from within my web project.  </p>

<p>The library is called (for example sake) 'Lib' and I want to test the static method "HelloWorld()" in Utils.  I have included the Lib project in the References.  The compiler knows it's there cause Intellisense is working and the project dependencies indicate that the webproject is depdendant on Lib.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;div&gt;
        &lt;% Response.Write(Lib.Utils.HelloWorld()); %&gt;         
&lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>

<blockquote>
  <p>Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The
  name 'Lib' does not exist in the
  current context</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Of course I am very newbee, but in the examples and tutorials for beginners, I haven't fount how to refer to external projects. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
