Question

I currently have two projects say project A and project B in my solution. Now both projects A and B are using similar classes and a copy of each class is found in each project. I wanted to know if there is a better way to accomplish this task. I want to have a single class somewhere and have both projects access common classes from there. What is the recommneded way to do this.

Answer 1

1. Create a third project C in the same solution.
2. Add your shared classes to C.
3. Reference C in the projects A and B. (to do so : in the Solution Explorer, right click on References in project A and B, click Add Reference, click on tab Projects, then select Project C, click OK)
4. Don’t forget to add the correct using namespace to use the class in the project A and B.

Or just let your shared classes in project A, or B and add reference to this project in the other project (It depends on the content but doing this way will create a kind of assymetry between the projects A and B).
