Newbie Question: Share Classes/... between 2 ASP.NET projects in 1 solution

[Nick Wouters]

Dear All

How do I share classes which are build in project "x" so I can use them in
project "y" in ASP.NET
I know how it is done in VB.NET by simple adding a reference to the other
project.
However this seams not to work with ASP.NET projects

Please help

Best Regards

a newbie (Nick - Belgium)

Hi Nick,

Actually, you can do the same thing in an ASP.Net solution. There are some
classes, such as Page classes and User Controls that this is not possible
for. But classes containing pure business logic and no UI, as well as Server
Controls, which do not have a Template, can certainly be used in multiple
projects.

One problem you may encounter, or have encountered, is how to abtain
references to things like Session and Application State. These can be
accessed from the HttpContext of the current Request. Example:

Dim s As System.Web.SessionState.HttpSessionState =
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session
