Question

I would like to know how can I embedd a code source file (if possible), something like that:

class X
{
include "ClassXsource"
}

My second question – Can I build DLL or something like that for my colleagues to use? I need them to be able to call methods from my “part” but do not modify or view their content. Basically just use namespace “MyNamespace” and call its methods, but I have never done anything like that.
Thanks

The C# compiler does not support include files. You can of course use a pre-compiler, that would read your source code files, and insert the included files into them, before passing the new files to the compiler.

As for producing a class library, sure. You can do it in two ways:

1. You can make the project source code available, so that they would add the project with all its files into their own project, and thus compile your class library as part of their solution.
2. You can compile it yourself, which produces an assembly file on disk (YourClassLibrary.dll), and then give that file to your co-workers. They would then add a reference to the file and can start using it.
