Hi,

I've got a solution that consists of a number of different projects, and
I've got a bunch of static functions that are utilised by each. I want to
move these functions into a seperate project, so they compile to a seperate
DLL.

One of the functions accepts a dropdown list as a parameter. I've created
the project, moved the files, but now it's coming up with "The type or
namespace 'UI' does not exist in the class 'System.Web' (are you missing an
assembly reference?) on the line:

public static int FindSelectedIndex(System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList
ddl, string value)

I can understand why I can't access the web namespaces from a class DLL, but
how can I get around this?

Thanks in advance,

Dunc
 
Dunc,

you need to add a reference to the System.Web.dll (Project menu, add
reference) in your static functions project
