I have a Blazor class which I’m trying to include in a component with @inherits like so:

@page "/Users"
@inherits MyApp.Client.Pages.UsersBase
...

The Base class, UsersBase.cs:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components;
namespace MyApp.Client.Pages
{
    public class UsersBase: ComponentBase
    {
           //...code...
    }
}

When I try compiling my project I get an error:

The type or namespace name “Pages” does not exist in the namespace “MyApp.Client” in Components_Pages_Users_razor.g.cs

The file, Components_Pages_Users_razor.g.cs, existed in the obj folder, so I tried both clearing the “bin” and “obj” files and rebuilding the solution. Neither solved the problem.

What is causing this?
