Error

I get this error when compiling and running my code; and can't figure out what it means:

MapLocation.cs(3,25): error CS0246: The type or namespace name Point' could not be found. Are you missingTreehouseDefense' using directive?
MapLocation.cs(5,42): error CS0246: The type or namespace name Map' could not be found. Are y ou missingTreehouseDefense' using directive?
Compilation failed: 2 error(s), 0 warnings

This is my Map.cs code:

using System;

namespace TreehouseDefense { class Map { public readonly int Width; public readonly int Height;

    public Map(int width, int height)
    {
        Width = width;
        Height = height;
    }

    public bool OnMap(Point point)
    {
       return point.X >= 0 && point.X < Width && 
              point.Y >= 0 && point.Y < Height;
    }
}

}

I found a typo in one of my other files and it fixed these errors. Unfortunately, I have new errors now. I will post a new question for those.

When you made your point class and the other class did you make them public?

This can be done like this when u make the point class

public class point { some variables here public constructor here methods and what not here codes goes here for the class does }

or you need to add the class at the top of the screen by using the using point;

hope this help
