What have you tried? Where are you stuck?

If you want to add a reference to project 1 in project 2, and a reference to project 2 in project 1 you might have an issue as it will cause a circular reference loop which I have a feeling is not allowed. If you have a solution that is designed like that you need to re-think your design.

if you are saying, you want to add reference of project 1 in project 2 & vice versa. the answer is no, it will create circular reference.

Creating a reference to P2 in P1 and to P1 in P2 is probably not a good idea. As has been said, this creates circular references which are not helpful.

A much, much better idea is to create a third (DLL) project which holds the "common" elements and which both of your projects reference. That way, the interdependence of the projects is reduce, which can only be better from a design standpoint, and a reliability / maintainability point of view as well.
