Ok so I have my main app in my project and in the same project I have a class library named “MonsterDatabase” How would I use a class called “Akantor” within my “MonsterDatabase” class-library?

I have tried

```auto
imports MonsterDatabase

private akantor as New Akantor

```

but that fails to work. Any suggestions?
