Share ServiceReferences.ClientConfig in common assembly with multiple UI projects

Hi,
currently, I am designing a Silverlight application in which I want to have a common assembly that performs WCF web service calls, and also provides methods to process and handle data exposed by that WCF web service.

Besides this common assembly, there are several separate UI projects (XAPs) that shall make use of this assembly and its data handling methods. E.g. I would like to be able to call a method "GetUserData" defined in the common assembly (which in turn calls a web service function and processes the results) from each of the UI projects that reference the common assembly.

However, currently this requires me to copy the ServiceReferences.ClientConfig file defined in the common assembly to each UI project that wants to make use of it. Although this works fine, I feel a bit uncomfortable with copying this file around, as it creates duplicate code and potential versioning and maintenance issues. Moreover, you couldnt do so if you would like to reference a compiled common assembly outside your own solution in VS.

Is there a way to share or reference the ServiceReferences.ClientConfig from the UI project that uses it, or at least read the configuration info in this file on startup of the UI project, and then make the UI project working on this configuration.

Or does this concept mean a lack of architecture and design at all ?

Cheers,

Joerg
