CS0433 The type 'type' exists in 'ProjectA' and 'ProjectB'

I have a solution made with .NET Framework 4.7 (c#) in which we have 2 projects that contain the same partial class within the same namespace, those projects are packaged on a nupkg.

From now on we will follow the following logic:

• Project A: has a part of the partial class and reference to Project B
• Project B: has another part of the partial class (code generated automatically)
• Project C: this project has the nupkg referenced but if we try to call any property of the mentioned class when compiling, it gives the following error:
  CS0433 The type 'Config' exists in 'ProjectA, Version=1.2023.2.21, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' and in 'ProjectB, Version=1.2023.2.21, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'

I’ve already tried:

• Cleaning and rebuilding.
• Deleting and adding again the references.
• Removing redundant and useless references.
• Uninstalling the NuGet from Project C and installing it again.

Here are the conflicting code snippets in each project:

Project A: partial class Config

namespace WhatIsWrong
{
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

    public partial class Config
    {
    }
}

Project B: partial class Config

namespace WhatIsWrong
{
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;

    public partial class Config
    {
        public string parameter { get; set; }
        public string value { get; set; }
    }
}

Project C

public DbSet<WhatIsWrong.Config> Config { get; set; }

>Solution :

Project A: has a part of the partial class and reference to Project B
Project B: has another part of the partial class (code generated automatically)

That’s not how partial classes work. What you’ve got there is two classes in two projects.

Every part of a partial class needs to be in the same project, because they’re compiled together to be one type.

Partial classes allow a single type’s code to be distributed amongst multiple files – but not multiple projects.
