Error 1 The type or namespace name 'Common' does not exist in the namespace 'ContosoCookbook' (are you missing an assembly reference?) C:\Users\Matija\Desktop\New folder\Problem1\WinStoreAppDev_CS\CS_24\App1\App1\RecipeDataSource.cs 51 62 App1

 

What do you thin I did wrong?

I think you're missing a using statement.  Can you share out: (1) your using statements at the top of that code file, and (2) the exact line of code that it's complaining about?  That might help me help you further.  DON'T GIVE UP!  When you run into stuff like this, you learn a lot!

public abstract class RecipeDataCommon : ContosoCookbook.Common.BidingData

 

It shows error on .BidingData. And after that it shows error on this part of code:

 public string UniqueId 
       {            
         get { return this._uniqueId; }           
          set { this.SetProperty(ref this._uniqueId, value);        
       }

 

and using statements are:

using System; 
using System.Linq; 
using System.Collections.Generic; 
using System.Collections.ObjectModel; 
using System.ComponentModel; 
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;

Second ... can you make sure (Ctrl + F) that there's a class called BindingData defined in the project, and that it belongs to the ContosoCookbook.Common namespace?

this line ..using telesense ..my error just got removed like this make sure you use telesense to

If you have named your project other then the actual name of "ContosoCookbook" ( may you using  lower case first letter style ) then you need to change it to that exact name.

public abstract class RecipeDataCommon : Foo.Common.BindableBase

You might need to contact support or someone on Visual Studio's forums.  This is where I would post it.  MAKE SURE YOU PUT AS MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE IN YOUR FORUM POST to get the best results.
