Namespace not recognized (even though it is there)

Question

I am getting this error:

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

Answer 1

If your class does not compile, even if it is in the project check these:

1. whether class name is exactly the same
2. whether name space is exactly the same
3. whether class properties show build action = compile
