I have a very simple "test" business layer and a very simple data layer. in
the data layer I have a simple public method. I import the reference of the
data layer (Imports MyDataLayer), and now I can create my object:

Dim MyObj as New DataClass

But when I try to access the public method:

MyObj.MyMethod

I get the following error if i hover over the object:

Declaration expected. I don't get it? Intellisense sees the Datalayer and
the class. I declare it correctly but I cannot get to the method because it
says it is not declared??????

In which procedure is
MyObj.MyMethod
located?

What's the modifier of the method 'MyMethod'? Is it 'Public' or
'Friend'? Is there maybe a typo in the name of the method? What does
IntelliSense show?
 
I said it was public.

Just guessing...

Do you have any other DataClass classes in your project, in other
namespaces? Maybe you only think that you instantiate MyDataLayer.DataClass,
while you instantiate SomeOtherNamespace.DataClass?

A copy-paste of your code would help to find the problem.
