Partial classes C# 2.0

[Madhuri Mittal]

Hi,

I know that we can define a class over multiple source files using the
keyword 'Partial' in C# within a project. Can we define the class over
multiple projects using the 'Patial' keyword- I know VB.Net does not allow
it, however was wondering if it's possible using C#?

Hi,

A simple test will give you the answer to this. ( I can;t do it as I do not
have VS2005 in the office )

AFAIK this is not possible. you can only do this inside the same assembly.

Cheers,

You definitely can't do it as each project compiles into a separate assembly and types are scoped to an assembly. in other words, Foo in the Bar assembly is considered, by the runtime, to be a different type to Foo is the Quuz assembly
