Using reference not found in HomeController

I'm working on an MVC3 project where I'm using an external library in my view to perform a specific function. However, when I try to reference the same library in my controller code, it can't be found (cue the "the type or namespace cannot be found" error).

Is there anything I can do to fix this? If not, is there a way that I can pull in a function/helper from my view into the controller code?

For example, in my Home/Index.cshtml file I'm referencing a library like so:

@using Amazon.S3.Model;

and I'm referencing the same library in my HomeController.cs file like so:

using Amazon.S3.Model;

It's probable that in the Web.config inside your views folder there is an explicit reference to the Amazon.S3 library, but do you have a project reference for it? Check the references folder in your project and make sure that a reference exists.
