How to share assembly attributes between multiple assemblies?

[RoveR]

Hi,

I have a couple of assemblies containing ServicedComponents-derived classes
which will be registered into the same COM+ Application hence I want them to
have the same ApplicationIDAttribute, ApplicationNameAttribute,
ApplicationAccessControl, etc.

It becomes a management nightmare to manually copying from one
AssemblyInfo.cs to another.

If I use csc.exe, I can put a common .cs file in the root directory and can
then use ..\CommonAssemblyInfo.cs.

But the IDE always performs a copy operation when I reference this file. I
don't want to run NAnt, just because of this but I may have to run a Nant
project to keep everyone in sync.

Does anyone has any good idea to solve this puzzle? Will this short coming
be addressed in the next release of VS.NET?

Thanks.

You can share files between projects via the IDE. See, for example,

Nicole,

Thanks for the tip. It is a shame that it was not very conspicuous as its
VS.NET is only good for single project.
