How to include a class file using c#

OK, let me preface this by saying I'm not coding in visual studio. I'm doing this in down time at work, and don't have that option. I'm coding in Notepad ++ portable and compiling with the windows built in c# compiler.

That said, I have this class in useful.cs

using System;

public class Useful

{   
    public void GetInt()
        {
            string s = Console.ReadLine();
            int i = Convert.ToInt32(s);
            return i;
        }
}

Now I also have a main project file, let's call it project.cs. How do I call useful.cs in that file so I can just type like int a = Useful.GetInt(); and have it work?

You should set GetInt as a static method.

public static int GetInt()
{
    string s = Console.ReadLine();
    int i = Convert.ToInt32(s);
    return i;
}
