Answer 1

Import the namespace of the ShoppingCart class into your UserControl. If you're trying to access it in the markup, use this at the top of your page:

<%@ Import namespace="Snowball.User" %>

If you're doing it in codebehind, just import the namespace like usual with a "using" statement (C#) or "Imports" (VB) at the top of the codebehind file.
