Troubles reference this pointer in external class file

I'm wanting to reference page controls from a cs file in the app_code
directory. I'm getting a _Defaullt could not be found, missing
directive or assembly reference error. Very simple example below.
Default.aspx.cs:
using System;
using System.Web.UI;
public partial class _Default : Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Class1.UpdateButtonText(this);
}
}
Class1.cs
using System;
public class Class1
{
public Class1()
{
}
public static void UpdateButtonText(_Default global_Default)
{
}
}

files.

Thanks,
Makes sense to me now. When I moved Class2 directly into the aspx.cs
file it of course worked. Hadn't really thought about the order of
compilation.
