❔ Cannot import another project

The image is the file structure of the solution. I'm trying to use the PasswordMangerLibrary. But it isn't letting me. Program.cs:

using PasswordManagerLibrary;

namespace PasswordManagerConsoleApp
{
    static class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
        }
    }
}

using PasswordManagerLibrary;

namespace PasswordManagerConsoleApp
{
    static class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
        }
    }
}

Manager.cs:

namespace PasswordManagerLibrary
{
    public class Manager
    {
        public static void Trying()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Works!");
        }
    }
}

namespace PasswordManagerLibrary
{
    public class Manager
    {
        public static void Trying()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Works!");
        }
    }
}

I feel like this is something really easy to fix but keep in mind i have a fever and i'm not fully operational 😅 .

the compiler is giving me "CS0246" if that gives any info

The type or namespace name 'PasswordManagerLibrary' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

phaseshift•16mo ago

did you add a project reference? ie what's is shown if you expand "> Dependencies" in the console app in your image

CaptainFallawayOP•16mo ago

no i have not added a project reference, how i do that?

phaseshift•16mo ago

what ide are you using?

CaptainFallawayOP•16mo ago

rider

phaseshift•16mo ago

its probably in the context menu if right-click on the consoleapp item in the tree

CaptainFallawayOP•16mo ago

looks to be right but it then failed to load my project

phaseshift•16mo ago

what 'looks to be right'?

CaptainFallawayOP•16mo ago

gave me this C:\Users\Alexander\Documents\Programming-git\csharp\PasswordManager\PasswordManager\PasswordManager.csproj at (9:5) That i added the project reference when doing the context menu on dependencies is says that this csproj code is not allowed

<ItemGroup>
  <ProjectReference Include="..\PasswordManagerLib\PasswordManagerLib.csproj" />
</ItemGroup>

<ItemGroup>
  <ProjectReference Include="..\PasswordManagerLib\PasswordManagerLib.csproj" />
</ItemGroup>

show the whole csproj never seen that before, though 😅

that's off the PasswordManagerConsoleApp though i did some stuff after i posted this But the main question is here, should i import another project or is it just better to have a normal directory within the main project??? what would be more of the "correct approach"

phaseshift•16mo ago

I dont think itemgroup is meant to be inside propertygroup

CaptainFallawayOP•16mo ago

that's what the context menu thingy did, not me but imma try moving it either way that seems to work nice! but still do you know the answer to the question I wrote before? This question

phaseshift•16mo ago

"it depends"

CaptainFallawayOP•16mo ago

my case for thinking like this is that i want to make a Console version and a GUI version and i want the Manager to be one thing that both use

phaseshift•16mo ago

then sure, makes sense to have the logic in a separate project

CaptainFallawayOP•16mo ago

well so everything seems to be working now, it's compiling and Program.cs is calling the Trying function with success does this whole post get deleted or it it saved? Thanks alot for the help tho! 👍
