Use class from different Project and Solution
Hello Experts,
I have a Class A in Project A. I have a Project B too. Project B would like to use some methods from Class A. How can I do that.
Note: I am using ASP.NET and C# in Visual Studio 2015
Thank you!

Project A has to be of type "class library. Then in Project B, add a reference to Project A and it will be available.
Thank you John Tsioumpris for your quick reply.
I forgot to mention that, they have different solutions too. Please let me know.

A solution is a group of projects. A project can be added to multiple solutions.
If you don't need to debug your classes of ProjectA while working in Project B, you can add a reference to the compiled DLL of project A.

Eric,
1. I need to Debug the code once the Reference is added. How can I do that? Is there an alternative way?
2. The Add Reference is missing from Solution Explorer when I right click it. I can see it when I right click on Projects --> Add --> Reference. Not sure if this is the right way.
Please let me know if I am missing anything.
Thank you!

If you need to debug, both projects need to be in the same solution. And then you will be able add a reference to the other project loaded in the same solution as explained in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/how-to-add-or-remove-references-by-using-the-reference-manager?view=vs-2019#projects-tab
