Solution - Project and common files

[Marty]

Hi,

I am building a solution with 2 projects within it. There is several
common classes (.vb) files between the two projects.

How can I seperate common classes from private classes for each project
in the same solution? How do I set them in the project explorer?

Thank you

Marty

Add a new project of type "Class Library", then add the classes which are
shared between two or more projects in the solution to the class library
project and reference the class library project from your other projects.
The classes only need to be added to the class library, and not to the other
projects in the solution.

I finally got to the same idea.

Thanks your for your help.

You can share at compiled-level (sharing the binary) using a Class Library
as explained in the other post, or you can share at source code level,
putting the common files in a folder and using the "Link File" option in the
dropdown button of the Add Existing Item dialog.
