how to call a method from class in seperate project

Question

I have a class library project and have added to that another project which is a unit test project. In the class library project I have the following code:

public class NumberManipulator
{
    public int FindMax(int num1, int num2)
    {
        int result;
        if (num1 > num2)
            result = num1;
        else
            result = num2;
        return result;
    }
}

A simple bit of code to return the highest number out of two inputs. In my unit test project I am trying to call the FindMax method using the following:

NumberManipulator test = new NumberManipulator();

but the class is not recognised and giving the following message "The type or namespace name 'NumberManipulator' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"

I have referenced the class project in the unit test project, not sure why I'm not able to call that class though.

if you have referenced the CORRECT project, then there is no reason on why it will not pick up the class... — Ahmed ilyas, Sep 28 '15 at 09:48
Have you added the correct `using SomeNameSpace;` at the top of your unit test class file? — Maarten, Sep 28 '15 at 09:48
So, having read the error are you missing a `using` statement or an assembly reference? — Jamiec, Sep 28 '15 at 09:59
you can read about [Getting “type or namespace name could not be found”](http://stackoverflow.com/a/3304899/3796048) — Mohit Shrivastava, Sep 28 '15 at 09:59

you will have to add

using nameSpace (where namespace would be namespace of your class library project.)

or other way would be:

<namespaceName>.NumberManipulator test = new <namespaceName>.NumberManipulator();
