mysterious compile error, method which exists isn't found

[Jeff]

hi

asp.net 3.5

The second line in the code below generates a compile error:
'Car' does not contain a definition for 'GetCar'

long id = Convert.ToInt64(Request.QueryString["id"].ToString());
Car car = Car.GetCar(id);

this happens inside an .aspx webpage, Car is a class in the BLL layer, the
code above is in the Page_Load on the webpage. Above this code I'm having
"using me.carspace.BLL;"

But the GetCar method exists in the Car class, I've used this code from
another webpage without any trouble. (only difference is that this page
don't have any masterpage, I don't see how that can make the problem)

This is the signature for GetCar:
public static Car GetCar(long id)

When I in the Page_Load event type "Car." then the intellisense suggest
"GetCar" but I get compile error when using it.

This .aspx webpage is located in the root folder

I don't see how this can be a reference problem, as all the classes are
inside this webproject and at the top of this .aspx.cs file I referecing the
BLL class ("using me.carspace.BLL;")

any ideas what's wrong here?

The method is not in the namespace you think it is? So, it can't be found?

I've solved it, I had another .aspx webpage in the same folder with the name
Car, so I solved it by referencing the Car class by me.carspace.BLL.Car

Yes, it can happen. Avoid using class names that duplicate names of
other classes or commonly used .NET Framework namespaces.
