VB.NET: Cannot access function from reference

I have a project, Project 1, that I've included in another project (Project 2). I'm trying to access a Function from Project 2 in Project 1. I can navigate to the function in my solution from Project 2, but when trying to access it from my file in Project 1 I can't seem to get access.

I've also tried adding a reference but, I get a message saying I already have a reference to Project 2 in Project 1; which I guess happened when I added it to the solution. Can anyone help me solve this issue? Thanks!

EDIT Perhaps I explained the structure of my solution poorly. Here is a "visual" representation of my Solution Explorer...

Solution 'Project1' (2 projects)
  Project1
     Folders
        Files
  Project2
     Folders
        Files

  • Make sure that you have added a reference to the project you want to access, in the project you want to access it from. You can do this by right clicking the project in the solution explorer > Add Reference.. > Click the solution tab > Check the project you want to access > OK.

  • Make sure that the class you want to access is "Public".

  • Remember to use the full name of whatever you are trying to access in Project2. As example, if you have a class named "MyClass", which is inside of a namespace named "SomeClasses", you would have to target "MyClass" like this: Project2.SomeClasses.MyClass. You can also use the "Import" keyword so that you don't have to write the full path each time.
