I have two assemblies A & B.

A has existing reference to B and it must be kept that way. Right now I made some changes to B that need to refer to A. So circular reference occurs.

Bit of details:

A has a few property grids that the dialog in B needs to be hosted. So to avoid this circular reference issue I tried to define interfaces to grids in third assembly to which A & B both refer, and make B only refers to the interfaces.

Two issues I’m facing:

  1. there’s too much custom data types (properties to be specific) inside the grids which are defined inside A and I have to define interfaces for every one of them.

  2. I see example of this works with function parameter e.g. call target function through the interface passed in. But how would it fit considering the following code – I can’t new a ICustomPropertyGridWrapper…

    object = new CustomPropertyGridWrapper(...)
    m_property.SelectedObject = object;

    For issue 1, there is not really a solution other then merge the two projects or do some code generation

    For the second, you can do that by implementing the Factory design pattern.
