Solved It!

I have solved it but for those that want to know this is how you import in ASP.NET

right click your project name.

Select PROPERTIES

Click on import and you will see all the Namespaces you have referenced to the project.

If you are getting Blue Squiggles, chances are, your code needs the relevant namespace in here. Just type it in and press Add.
your code should then return to no underline and your code should work!
