VS/C# multiple projects organising source files

using vs2003/c#
we have several medium to large projects

How should we organise our source files
i.e. directories / namespaces / assemblies etc

1. some classes/groups of classes
are used in all our projects (usually abstract classes)
2. some classes/forms comprise of a
functional module and go as one unit
(e.g. accounting, inventory,...)
2. some functional modules are in use only
in some of the projects and some are common to all

Are there any guidelines / recommendations
how we should maintain our directories / files
libraries etc

[You can choose different assembly to reference, right?] Are there any guidelines / recommendations

Hello Every where in .NET books is mentioned that VS.NET is a seamless cross platform environment. We have two groups of programmers that some are VB programmer but others prefer to use C#. Is it possible to have a project that accepts both kind of sources? I mean for example one class is in VB.NET and the other in C#. Then one can trace or debug a mixed code that switches between several languages code. In general when I want to create a...

Dear all, Can anyone point me to a resource that describes the best way of organising a python project?

Summary: How should multiple (related) projects be arranged (structured) and configured so that the following is possible: o Sharing common code (one of the projects would be a "common" project referenced by all others and likely the others would share at least the common project and possibly more as times goes on) o Clear separation of "production" code and "test" code (ie to readily ship source and test as separate components.

Until now I have worked on small teams (1-3 developers) and we've been able to stay out of each others way. Now I'm about to start work on a project that will have 5 developers. I would appreciate some guidance on how we can proceed to develop without having to worry about "who is working on what files". We're developing with SQL Server 2005, VS 2005 Pro (no way management is going to spring for the $10,000 team edition for everybody),...

Hi everyone, I have a question about .NET code sharing and reuse, and also about application design best practices / guidelines. Currently, we have many different .NET projects in source depot. Although they are different, in some of them we share C# code by referencing source files that are external (not part of the projects) on each project. For instance, some of our projects have the typical “sources” file with:

I posted this last week end in the MSDN forums. No luck there. Let's see what the experts here have to say:-)))) I have a rather convoluted project. The distributable will come in eight different flavors, each with its main program, libraries, datafiles, doco, etc. Each flavor will also have one or more standalone executables that can be called as tools from within the main program.

Hi I've just begun programming VB, attending a college course. The last weeks I've been using my workstation for projects, saving everything locally on this.

I've tried moving the source files and projects over to a fileshare that is mapped on both machines, but when I open the projects I get a...
