    I have 2 classes in the same script and I wan't to add "ButtonController" class to the button.
    Code (CSharp):
    1. private Button _newButton;
    2. ...
    3. _newButton.AddComponent<ButtonController>();
    But can't:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. Type `UnityEngine.UI.Button' does not contain a definition for `AddComponent' and no extension method `AddComponent' of type `UnityEngine.UI.Button' could be found.

    Because the class Button doesn't have any definition for AddComponent, you should be using the GameObject to do that _newButton.gameObject.AddComponent...
