In Visual Studio 2008 I know its possible to have one solution with two (or more) projects.
Is it possible OR How is it possible for the projects to share common class files?
For example -> Project 1 has a log file handling class. Can Project 2 reference it?
My hope is to increase code re-use and avoid two copies of the same thing that need to be maintained.
The target is Winforms C# (3.5)
Yes, this is definitely possible. You need to add a reference to Project 1 from Project 2 (right-click Project 2 in the Solution Explorer, choose “Add Reference…”, and choose Project 1 under the “Projects” tab).
Don’t forget that the code for Project 1 and Project 2 is likely to be in different namespaces. You’ll need to add the appropriate
usingstatement(s).
