Cannot reference a class in portable project from UWP project

Question

I am trying to reference a public class in my portable project from the UWP project but it does not allow me to.

Here is my project file structure:

[

Here is the class located in the portable project:

Here is the class located in the UWP project, you'll notice it cannot access the class from the portable project:

And here's what happens when I use the dot operator, the UWP namespace is the only thing that appears.

Any ideas on why I cannot access the public class in the portable project? Or how I can access that class?

Thanks!

Thank you Ken Tucker your question shed light on the issue.

Windows 10 was not selected in the targets.

I did the following:

• Uninstall Xamarin.Forms from the portable project using NuGet
• Check the Windows 10 box in the targets of the portable project
• Reinstall Xamarin.Forms to the portable project

Glad it was an easy solution!
