Data passing between projects in a solution

[Aku]

Hi,
I have a solution with two projects in it.
ProjectA has data which is needed in ProjectB.
How do I pass this data to ProjectB?
Thank you!

Project A can be exe and Project B can be dll or vice versa.

Add reference of Project B to Project A. Pass the data through parameters.
If the data size is big, you can pass as structures.

Make Reference of ProjectB in ProjectA

There are several ways of doing this:

1 (if your projects are distinct) have a designated file
and location to write data to and read from.

2 (if your projects are distinct) You can use sockets

3 (if your projects are distinct) use network DDE

4 (if they are dependent) use DDE

5 (if they are dependent) use OLE

6 (if they are dependent) use Out of process/in process
servers (exe/dll)

and yes there are still a further host of ways to do what
you want.

Hi Aku,

Assuming you had 2 projects (1 dll and 1 exe).

dll project - Solution.ProjectA
exe project - Solution.ProjectB

Add references to the dll in ProjectB.

Then code this:

using Solution.ProjectA; // at the top, as a directive

In the code, you can call whatever inside ProjectA.

Hope it helps. Correct me if i am wrong.

Lot of thanks for all (Shak, Tamir, Morgal,Ching) your replies !!
Especially Ching's detailed answer; Referencing is the solution for my
case 1 exe & 1 dll)!
