Accessing solutions
Good day.
I have a solution with 8 dlls. A second program that I am developing needs access to 4 of the dlls. It seems logical that I should place these 4 dll projects in their own solution and then each program can access them. I need to some guidance on how best to accomplish this .
Thanks

The dlls share referneces between them. Would that make a difference?

no it will not make difference if you compile dll (which is using other dll as reference) by adding reference of shared dll from GAC.

You have DLL projects or compiled dlls?
ASKER
Currently the dlls are in projects. One dll per project. It seems that I should move the dlls into one assembly as classes.
Good, bad ??

Thanks for the input. If anyone knows of a good text that covers program structural philosophy instead of the usual bland review I would appreciate a heads up.

It would be good if you put the shared dll (shared between project or reused between the project) in GAC (Global Assembly Cache).
Following two links will guide you to implement it.
