inheritance in C#

[support]

I have a web page (compiled with .net 2.0 /Visual studio 2005)
http://people-places-work.info/addPerson.aspx
derived from System.Web.UI.Page, but I would like to insert an intermediate
class called addPersonBase from this local project.
This worked for me in VB, but C# wants something more.
---------addPerson.aspx.cs
public partial class addPerson :
//System.Web.UI.Page
addPersonBase
{ ....
}
----------end
---------addPersonBase.cs
public class addPersonBase :
System.Web.UI.Page
{
public addPersonBase ()
{
.....
}
----------end
Unfortunately when I do that I get an error
Error 1 The type or namespace name 'addPersonBase' could not be found (are
you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Any ideas on how to fix that?

VB.NET had you on "training wheels" for namespaces (as the most likely
reason).

In VB.NET, right click a project and find the default namespace.
Whatever that is (its probably something like "MyApplication", the full name
of your class is
MyApplication.addPerson

in C#, you need to use the "using" statement, or fully qualify the class
name.

You also probably put "addPersonBase" in a different folder than your
addPerson class.

MyApplication
\Folder1\addPersonBase
\Folder2\addPerson

At the top of addPerson.cs, you'll need to put something like

using MyApplication.Folder1;

OR

public partial class addPerson : MyApplication.Folder1.addPersonBase
{}

This was one of my biggest issues with VB.NET back in the day. I hated
everything defaulted to the default namespace, and when you added a new
class, you had to manually type in

Namespace Graphics

End Namespace

Ah...a very old post:

Look for "MyCompany"

Thanks that worked.
I ended up putting that code addPersonBase.cs in the folder App_Code and
addPersonBase was picked up by
addPerson.aspx.cs in the . folder
