Can't access a function inside a class library

I'm trying to make a class library but I can't seem to access the function inside of it. Here's the library: 
c#
using DSharpPlus;
using DSharpPlus.Entities;
using DSharpPlus.SlashCommands;

namespace DiscordLibrary;

public static class UsefulFunctions
{
    public static async Task CreateResponse(InteractionContext ctx, string message, bool isEphemeral)
    {
        var responseBuilder = new DiscordInteractionResponseBuilder().WithContent(message);
        if (isEphemeral)
            responseBuilder.AsEphemeral();
        await ctx.CreateResponseAsync(InteractionResponseType.ChannelMessageWithSource, responseBuilder);
    }
}
c#
using DSharpPlus;
using DSharpPlus.Entities;
using DSharpPlus.SlashCommands;

namespace DiscordLibrary;

public static class UsefulFunctions
{
    public static async Task CreateResponse(InteractionContext ctx, string message, bool isEphemeral)
    {
        var responseBuilder = new DiscordInteractionResponseBuilder().WithContent(message);
        if (isEphemeral)
            responseBuilder.AsEphemeral();
        await ctx.CreateResponseAsync(InteractionResponseType.ChannelMessageWithSource, responseBuilder);
    }
}
Then I added a project reference to that inside another project and then referenced it with using DiscordLibrary;. However, I can't seem to access the CreateResponse function.

How are you trying to call CreateResponse, and what error are you getting?

Yes, that it’s not defined

Please show an example of how you are calling it. It might also be useful to show the .csproj for your other project so we can see how you set up the reference

The full name of that function is DiscordLibrary.UsefulFunctions.CreateResponse. Does that work?

Yes I was trying to do only CreateResponse() thanks Is there a way I could shorten it so I only need to call CreateResponse()?

technically, you can bring static methods into scope with using static UsefulFunctions; at the top of your file, but that's generally not recommended because it hurts code readability you could also consider extension methods, e.g. make InteractionContext ctx into this InteractionContext ctx which would allow you to call your method on an InteractionContext variable as if it was defined as part of that class
