Use Custom Class in another Custom Class

[c4tech]

I am using VB.net with ASP.net 2.0 and am not using Visual Studio. I use my text editor. I have written a class and wrapped it in a namespace called "MyBulb_NS". I want to import and use that namespace in another namespace that i've written called "MyLamp_NS". I have pasted a code snippet below to show how i import the namespace. MyBulb_NS has been compiled to a dll without errors. When I attempt to compile MyLamp_NS it fails. I have pasted its makefile and error below

I am frustrated that it is so difficult to use a custom class in a different custom class. What needs to be done to get this to work? Please help! TIA!
