I have common classes that I would like to share amongst a few stand
alone projects. They are independent of each other and not related in
any way. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to share a
single source code file amongst multiple projects. When I attempt to
add an existing item to a project, Visual Studio makes a copy of the
file. I do not want ten copies of the same source code that I later
have to maintain.
I tried editing the file name and adding ..\Common\whate ver.vb, but
this is not permitted. It seems like such a simple thing that I
should not be struggling with.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Create a library (DLL).

Click "Add Existing Item...", select the file, and then change the
dropdown button to reference the file only and keep it in its original
location.

Interesting -- I do not have these options after clicking Add Existing
Item.
Ah -- I just found it. There's a drop down arrow to the right of the
Add button. I have to select "Add As Link."
Thanks!

Yeah -- this would have been my last resort. I have the source shared
now though. ja***@onepost.n et wrote in news:vm******** *************** *********@4ax.c om:

It's probably the best way too :-) This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hello,
This question is related to sharing .Net projects across solutions and is
reposted from the SourceSafe group.
We have several different solutions and want to share common assemblies
across them. Is it best to share the project and its files to each solution
(each solution has it's own shared project), or have each solution point to
the same file location of the project?

Dear all,
here is a simple problem that I cannot overcome:
I'm trying to write a client/server application in Visual Basic .net. The
server is an executable (.exe) project, the clients are class library (.dll)
projects. The server loads the clients from their DLL-files at runtime using
reflection tools, such as:
ClientAssembly =
System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFrom(Client_To_Load_File_Name)

Hi to all
I'm askyng you a suggestion about the best way to share the same source code
between VS2003 and VS2005.
The project I'm developing is a controls and components library, and the
Solution.sln includes a standard WindowsForms application for testing
pourposes.
What I need is an efficient and reliable way to edit and test the DLL
assembly in both environments, since the library will be distributed for
Framework 1.1 and 2.0.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
