You said use "using myDLLFile;". That is most probably not correct. The using statement needs a name space that is defined in your DLL. To confirm that myDLLFile is the correct name space look into your WinForm solution. If your WinForm solution (that works as you said) also uses
...
using myDLLFile;
...
then your "using" statement is OK, BUT you still need to add a reference to that DLL under "References" in the solution view.
