add existing item from different directory tree

[Guest]

im trying to add a .cs file from a directory not in the current project tree.
adding it works, but it makes a local copy. we would like to have a
structure similar to:

Develop\Shared
Develop\Proj1
Develop\Proj2

where the Shared folder contains .cs files that both proj1 and proj2 can
use. we do not wish to compile what is in shared into its own DLL. is there
a way to add the .cs files from Shared into both proj1 and proj2 without
having a local copy placed into the corrosponding project folders?

thank you.

When you add a .cs file, click the little arrow next to the open
button. There should be an option called link file.

Try that.
