Added custom field to projects but can't use PMProjectExt

I'm making a button to create a SOOrder from the Project. I'd like to write the newly created number back to the project, so I've added a custom field for that. It's on the form and the whole process works great.

That said, at the end when I try to write back to the project I get the following error any time I try to reference PMProjectExt:

error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'PMProjectExt' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Ideally my update line looks like this Base.Caches[typeof(PMProject)].SetValue<PMProjectExt.usrTEKSOOrderNbr>(TheRow, header.OrderNbr);

But even something as simple as declaring a variable (eg PMProjectExt testExt; with the PMProjectExt gets the same error.

I'm sure I'm doing something really stupid, but I can't seem to resolve it.

So, turns out that Projects used to be Contracts. So to get the extension on Projects you need to use contracts like this:

  PMProject TheRow = (PMProject)e.Row;
  ContractExt TheExt = PXCache<Contract>.GetExtension<CT.ContractExt>(TheRow);
  string refNbr = TheExt.UsrTEKSOOrderNbr;

If you want to update a project, I recommend to instantiate the PMProject graph, assign the current record & update the user-field value. Finally persist the changes to the graph. Something like this.

ProjectEntry graph = PXGraph.CreateInstance<ProjectEntry>();
PMProject currentProject = graph.Project.Search<PMProject.contractCD>(Base,[your project nbr])
if (currentProject!=null)
{
  graph.Project.Current = currentProject;
  PMProjectExt projectExtension = PXCache<PMProject>.GetExtension<PMProjectExt>(currentProject);
  projectExtension.usrTEKSOOrderNbr = "ABC123";

  graph.Actions.PressSave();
  graph.Clear();   
}
