C# naming conflict: My class "Tag" conflicts with "object Control.Tag"

I have a custom class called "Tag" inside my VS C# project. I try to access its static method inside a WinForm form, like this:

Tag.someMethod()

VisualStudio interprets "Tag" as "object Control.Tag {get; set;}". This seems to be silly, but I'm not sure if it should happen and how to resolve it. I prefer not to rename my class, I like this short name. Also I don't want to reference it using the namespace of my project, it is too long. Can anything be done to force VS to recognize "Tag" as my custom class?

You can use an alias for the namespace if it is big and then use it in the code.

using Project = PC.MyCompany.Project;
Project.Tag.someMethod();
