how to remove my errors

Answer 1

You have not included namespace of Models.

Just Right Click on Users class name in the controller and go to Resolve and from their include its namespace in controller class.

If you want to do explicitly then, your project namespace assming MyProject, do like this:

using MyProject.Models;


public class UserController : Controller
{
   private static Users _users = new Users();
}

or you can use Fully Qualified Name like this:

public class UserController : Controller
{
  private static MyProject.Models.Users _users = new MyProject.Models.Users();
}
