URGENT Circular dependency problem
Ok, I have two libraries:
corelib
netlib
Corelib contains a function called 'InterpretCommand', which needs to be accessible through 'netlib'.
'InterpretCommand' on the other hand needs access to a class in 'netlib', 'ClientSocket'. Therefore 'netlib' and 'corelib'.
Referencing 'netlib' in 'corelib' works good, but when I try to reference 'netlib' in 'corelib' it tells me it's not possible since it would create circular dependencies.
Any solution?

This solution is only available to members.

ClientSocket class must be moved to new library. Create new library project and move this class to it. Let's call it socketlib.
Dependency:
netlib calls InterpretCommand from corelib
corelib calls ClientSocket from socketlib.
References:
netlib project - corelib
corelib project - socketlib.
If ClientSocket is used directly by netlib, this is OK and doesn't create circular dependency. socketlib must conrain low level classes and functions used by high level netlib and corelib.
