Accessing alias instead of webelement directly

[VVP]

Hi,

 In our automation testing, we use controls directly in scripts

ie.Pages.HtmlPage.textdropdown  etc

But recently there was some changes and we spent lots of time replacing each and every statement with new control

So i was thinking to move this "Pages.HtmlPage.textdropdown" to a library file with name "DropdownField" and access it in scripts.

I tried like

 1) HtmlSelect dropdown List= Pages.HtmlPage.textdropdown;

2) Pages.HtmlPage.textdropdown DropdownField

But i am getting error like Pages.HtmlPage is a property but used like a type.

Any method for accessing html element from a library ?

Sorry such a simple thing. i figured it out.

   public HtmlSelect DropdownList()
        {
            return Pages.HtmlPage.textdropdown;
        }
