Shared .cs files, and file locationsfiles, which several solutions can use. I don't want to place these in a ..dll, I simply want them included into various applications. I have tried several methods, but most have failed. The most obvious way (I thought) was to place the .cs files in a parent folder (maybe called "shared"), and then simply drag-n-drop the files into the "Solution Explorer" (files list) -- But, this actually copies the files into the folder where the solution exists. Is there some way to have a folder with many .cs files in it, and have those ..cs files be included in several solutions? Any suggestions, pointers concepts, ideas? Thanks DanB The only idea I currently have is as follows: 1) Have a main project folder: "C:\Projects\" 2) Place the solution files for every project in this folder (this includes: ..sln, .slu, .csproj, .csproj.user) (Note: This seems like a huge pain. Every project solution files are in the same folder! Yuck!) project1.* project2.* project3.* ... 3) Each project would have a folder for the project files: "C:\Projects\project1" Form1.cs App.ico bin\ ... 4) Have a "shared" folder: "C:\Projects\Shared" Shared.cs OtherShared.cs ... 5) Now, all the projects can include the shared .cs files, and only have *one* copy of them also. There was a discussion on this subject a little while back.

Thank you * 1Gig. DanB The part from the discussion I was looking for I copied below: "When you add the code file to the project make sure that you specify it as a "link file". So in the "Add Existing Item" dialog, after you select the DM.cs file, select the drop down arrow on the "Open" button and then select "Link File". The file will now appear in the Solution Explorer, under the appropriate project, with a code file icon that looks like it has a little shortcut image over top of it."
