Question

What am I doing wrong?

I get this error:

"The name 'LoginPasswordUserControl' does not exist in the current context"

I have a user control, here is the code:

using System.Windows.Forms;
//Define the namespace to make the user control.
//namespace to hold the application
namespace LoginPasswordUser
{
//Define the class to make the user control.  
//Class to define the control  
public partial class LoginPasswordUserControl : UserControl
{
//Define the read-only properties to get the username and the password from the user control. //Define the property for the username. //property to read username  
public string Login { get { return loginTextBox.Text.Trim(); } }
// Define the property for the password. //property to read password  
public string Password { get { return passwordTextBox.Text.Trim(); } }
//Define the constructor to initialize the GUI of the user control.  
/* Constructor to initialize the user control */
public LoginPasswordUserControl() { InitializeComponent(); }
}
}

I also have my main class, here is that code:

namespace testing
{
//Define the class to make the application. //class to define the form  
public partial class LoginForm : Form
{
//Define the constructor to initialize the GUI of the form.
/*Constructor to initialize the GUI of the form */
public LoginForm() { InitializeComponent(); }
//Define the Click event of the button to process the username and the password.  
/* Method to define the Click event of the Button */
private void btnGetDetails_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Get the value of the username and password fields in the strings.  
//get the username and password  
string uName = LoginPasswordUserControl.Login;
string pWord = LoginPasswordUserControl.Password;
//Get a new string by concatenating the username and the password.  
//make a single string from the username and
//password  
string logDetail = "User Name: " + uName + "\nPassword is: " + pWord;
//Show the username and the password in the new MessageBox. //show the details in a //MessageBox  
MessageBox.Show(logDetail, "Info", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
}
}
}

PLEASE HELP!

Hey, In the main function you directly used "LoginPasswordUserControl" class without specifying its namespace name. Whenever you want to use a class which is present in another namespace , you should mention the namespace name also.You can use the above function like this "LoginPasswordUser.LoginPasswordUserControl". Even after this change you will get one more error because you used the class "LoginPasswordUserControl" without creating an object of it. First create an object , then use it.
