Hi there !

I have a VB.net application ("MyApp") who needs to use code stored in another folder, where I have (common) procedures used by lots of other projects. I don't want to copy those in my particular app's folder, but I would like to include them in my Solution and compile them at compile time.

I tried to do this by building a Solution with 2 Projects, "Common" and "MyApp", and compile the Projects in the correct order - first Common, and then MyApp. IT DOESN'T WORK !

Any call from MyApp of a procedure stored in Common generates an error; any reference to a data type defined in Common generates an error... etc. MyApp doesn't "see" Common, as if they were 2 completely separate entities.

So how do I do this in VB.net ?

TIA

You have to add references to the Common Project in MyApp.Include the dll in the MyApp using Add References in VS.NET

Sorry, but it's not a DLL. It's just plain simple source code (.vb file), and, if possible, I would like to keep it that way.

VB6 could do this easily ! You tell me VB.net can't ?! Argggh ! :-)

You have the common.vb file in separate project right.If it so,you have to build it and add an reference to the MyApp project.
Include the namespace of the common.vb in your MyApp files whereever you want to use and access the procedure.
(eg)If common.vb is in Common.Web namespace
import it into your MyApp file like imports Common.Web
The procedures inside the common.vb will be accessible now to your MyApp file.
