  • 0

If I create a blank solution, add an MVC 3 project then add an empty web application to the same solution, add a reference to the empty web application project in the MVC 3 application, how can I access the classes from the empty web application. (if there were any)

Inside of my MVC project, intellisense doesnt seem to pick up on the empty web application.

Of course, I guess the question would be, “Why would you want to reference an empty web application?” However, I would be under the assumption that I could do this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Once you create a reference to the second project, the empty web application, you’ll be able to access anything inside of that project in theory*.

    You would need to either using the using keyword to bring the objects into scope or you’ll need to call them by their fully qualified names, such as Foo.Bar.FooBar.

    That being said, the application project will need classes in it to be accessed. If you have a completely empty project there wouldn’t be anything to access in the other project.

    • You won’t be able to access things that depend on ASP.NET in a non-ASP.NET hosting setup, such as HTTPContext.Current unless your app is running on ASP.NET.
