HI

I'm developing a desktop application in Visual Studio 2005
Professional and need help.

I've created several custom classes for my project but they appear
invisible to my forms!!!

For example I create the following class -

Namespace BLL

   Public Class Building
       Inherits BizObject
       Implements IFolderItem

       Private _name As String
       Property name() As String Implements IFolderItem.name
           Get
               Return _name
           End Get
           Set(ByVal value As String)
               _name = value
           End Set
       End Property

       Private _folderId As Integer
       Property FolderId() As Integer
           Get
               Return _folderId
           End Get
           Set(ByVal value As Integer)
               _folderId = value
           End Set
       End Property

       Sub New(ByVal strName As String)
           Name = strName
       End Sub

   End Class

End Namespace

When I create a form and type imports <Project name>. intellisense
does not display the namespace. If I simply enter the namespace
manually and attempt to create an object of the type the IDE reports
that type 'Building' is not defined.

Even if I don't create a namespace for a class, it is still not
detected in the form class.

One thing I notice out of the ordinary is that the icons by the
'invisible classes' appear as white paper sheets rather than the usual
class icon.

What the hell?

It seems most of the issues I run into with this crappy product are
linked to weird quirks in the damn product rather than programming
errors.

Please help!

FRUSTRATED
