You create 1 solution holds your 2 project (exe and dll)
From your (exe) project add reference to your dll project then press Ctr + F5

That would be because either you didnt add the using, or put in a fully qualified namespace path.

Did I just hear "You gotta help us, Doc. We've tried nothin' and we're all out of ideas" ? Is this you? Dont let this be you! I will put in as much effort as you seem to.
