ascx and sharepoint

[Drew Carter]

Hi. I'm not sure whether this is a SharePoint or an ASP problem... but I
thought it made sense to post here.

I'm having trouble instantiating a C# class from within my ascx file. When
I attempt to run it on our SharePoint 2007 server, I receive this error in
the log file: "System.Web.HttpCompileException: c:\Program Files\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\12\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES\ASPNETControl\ASPNETControl.ascx(12):
error CS0103: The name 'Class1' does not exist in the current context"

How do I allow the program to recogonize Class1? When I rewrite the aspx
file to return an ordinarily string, it funcitons fine, as long as I don't
call the outside class. Class1 was compiled correctly and it exists as
bin\Class1.dll.

Any advice would be appreciated, and I have my code below. Thanks!

GetUsername.ascx:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" ClassName="GetUsername" %>

<script runat ="server" >

protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter UI)

{
Class1 output = new Class1();
UI.Write(output);

}

</script>





Class1.cs

using System;

public class Class1
{
public Class1()
{}
public static string getUserName()
{
return "Class1 String";
}
}
