Hi,

I have some .vb code that is common to a number of projects. How can I get away with only having one copy of this code rather than copying it between project folders?

Thanks

Is this specific to .NET 2.0 or did you post in the wrong place?

In 1.X, at least, you can "Strong Name" your assembly's and put it in the Global Assembly Cache. Then any proccess on that same machine can access it.

Hal,

Thanks for your reply.

This is .NET 1.0

I may have placed this in the wrong section, please advise as I will have more questions later (probably).

I will look into 'strong naming' the assembly. I don't know how do do this, but will look through books etc. Any hints on getting started with this. My common .vb code are common sub-routines and structures.

Thanks

Hey,

Either add this common code to a project and make a common dll, and add this to multiple projects, or like previously suggested, add it to the GAC.

Kerry,

Yes, this is in the wrong forum. As you can see this is the .NET 2.0 forum. Hopefully a moderator with access can move this over to the General .NET forum.


As for Strong naming- you need to create a SNK file and then use a utility to give the assembly the strong name.

Here are some references from a quick google search:

Hal and Brian,

Thanks for your advice.

In future I will use the "General .NET Forum"
