I need to specify common files for my ASP.net projects

like if I have a project that is in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebRegistration
I want to reference files that are in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\common

is there an easy way to this?

If you want to share at source code level (not at binary, compiled level)
than you can use the Add Existing Item context menu and instead of clicking
directly the Open button (which would copy the file) dropdown it and use the
Link entry.

The "Add Existing Item..." dialog has a buttom aparently named "Open" but it
is really a dropdown button. If you click the down arrow, you will see the
"Link File" option. This option, on the contrary to the "Open" option, does
not add the file to your project copying it to your project folder but it
adds it leaving it in its original folder. I hope it's clear now.

I don't think this option is available when you have a Asp.net application
if you know of one let me know. Running Visual Studio .NET 2003.
