According to your example here it seems that they both reside in the same namespace, i conclude that they are both part of the same project ( if you haven't created another project with the same namespace) and all class by default are defined as internal to the project they are defined in, if haven't declared otherwise, therefore i guess the problem is that your file is not included in your project. You can include it by right clicking the file in the solution explorer window => Include in project, if you cannot see the file inside the project files in the solution explorer then click the show the upper menu button of the solution explorer called show all files ( just hove your mouse cursor over the button there and you'll see the names of the buttons)

Just for basic knowledge: If the file resides in a different project\ assembly then it has to be defined, otherwise it has to be define at least as internal or public. in case your class is inheriting from that class that it can be protected as well.
