accessing files from a difference namespace c#

Question

I have created a project structure like below

-Project.sln
  --Provider.csproj
  ---Middleware
  ----Helper.cs
  ---Tests.csproj
  ----test1.cs

I am trying to access Helper.cs from test1.cs like using Provider.Middleware, but build is failing with message: The type or namespace name 'Middleware' does not exist in the namespace 'Provider'.

Am I missing something?

is `Helper.cs` accesible? it sounds like you made this class static. — Misiakw, Jul 30 '19 at 06:56
have you added `Provider.csproj` project as dependence to `test.csproj`? — Misiakw, Jul 30 '19 at 06:57
You need to add a reference to your `Tests.csproj` which points to your `Provider.csproj`. — Twenty, Jul 30 '19 at 06:58
now Im getting this: obj\Debug\netcoreapp2.1\Providers.Program.cs(4,7): error CS0101: The namespace '' already contains a definition for 'AutoGeneratedProgram' [D:\Providers\Providers.csproj] obj\Debug\netcoreapp2.1\Providers.Program.cs(3,2): error CS0579: Duplicate 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.TestSDKAutoGeneratedCode' attribute [D:\\Providers\Providers.csproj] — Srikanth Yadake, Jul 30 '19 at 07:00
You need to specifiy the namespace explicitly using the `namespace` keyword. Directory structure is only a convention — user1781290, Jul 30 '19 at 07:05
yes, all classes have namspace in them. Like test1.cs is under namespace 'Tests' — Srikanth Yadake, Jul 30 '19 at 07:08
The error you posted in a previous comment indicates that you actually do not have a namespace used at all points as it contains "". Please post the code from the cs-Files — user1781290, Jul 30 '19 at 07:12

Are you sure that you have Middleware as a folder in your project and something like this in your Helper class:

namespace Provider.Middleware{

…

}
