Hi! I have two custom .NET applications where a form in one of them has very similar functionality to a form in the other one. (The common stuff: the majority of controls in those forms, plus all the code for handling those controls.) Every time I make a change to that portion of one application, I have to make corresponding changes to the other application. I would rather have the similar stuff be made available to both projects. So I created a third project with just the shared stuff, both controls and code. I made it a DLL project (is that the correct thing to do?). And I included that DLL into each of the other projects as a resource. But I don't know how to put the to-be-shared controls onto each application's form, nor how to call the to-be-shared code that I'd compiled into the DLL.
If you know how to accomplish this (shared code & controls between two projects), can you tell me? I'd really, really appreciate your help.
Thank you!
