    Using Shared Classes

    Hello,

    I have a web application and windows application,

    My web application has App_Code folder and in this folder have a Users.cs
    file, this file has some user management classes and routines,

    The problem is, when I try to use this class from windows application and
    want to add these classes to my app. Vs.2005 copies these classes to windows
    application folder, it means, it duplicates these users.cs file

    I want to use first Users.cs as a reference, How can It be ?

    Thanks

      Create a class library containing the common code, and reference it
      from both projects.

          If you are using a source control program, you may be able to share the
          files between the two projects. I think in Visual Source Safe this is called
          "Share file".

              That's a really bad solution to the problem though - using a class
              library is a solution specifically designed for this very problem.

                  Then you have the dll in two places.

                      You have the "original" DLL in one place, and then building the other
                      applications copies the DLL. There's no harm in that, IMO.
