If I have a .dll project with a bunch of common classes, can I add that project to multiple solutions? Is this a safe thing to do or is there a better solution?

Why not just reference the DLL in whatever project you want to use it in instead of adding the project all the time?
Why is common sense not common?

If I wanted to add new features to the DLL or something of that nature.

That does not preclude you adding new features.

Yet, .Net is crap where code re-use is concerned. In C++, all you had to do was add a given file to your project, regardless of what folder it was in. In .net, you can't do that. I don't care to have a million little DLL's distributed with my app. Sometimes, I don't want ANY DlL's. Code re-use is limited to making a COPY of a file in the new project's folder. It's just crap, and a huge step AWAY from code re-use.

Isn't using a Source Control product the modern version of pointing your C/C++ project to a file on your hard drive?

Nope, not when you're dealing with .Net.

You can add source code as a link, I do that a lot when I don't want to include my whole library.
I agree (and have since my first experience with VS ten years ago) that VS should not copy files by default.

Ok...I now have many follow up questions to this dilemma.
If you can't just link in a DLLs source tree, what is the purpose of having a solution and not just opening up multiple IDEs with multiple projects?
If I just reference the DLL, when I step into a function debugging, will it know where to find the source for that DLL?
This DLL I already have has common data access routines in it that is used by a service I created. I would like to access those same routines with a new service. I may also need to add more functions, but like I said, I would like to be able to step into those routines and debug.

You can, no one said you could not.

If it were me, I would not just reference a DLL that I did not trust had been tested and debugged. If you cannot trust the functionality of the DLL you would probably be way better off adding the project to your solution.

Ok, so what is the proper way to add a project to a solution so that a second copy of the code isn't created?

I suppose that depends on the version of VS you are using. In VS 2008, right click on the solution, select Add, then select Existing project.

Yes you can. I do. Otherwise, I can't step into that code while debugging.

Hello,
how can I link a hscrollbar to a picturebox ? (I need to get the offset from hscrollbar.Value, so that I can calculate the horizontal coordinates of a point in the image) I believe I must use an OnPaint event, but do not know how to use it. A portion of code would be appreciated.
thanks

Are you asking how to determine the clicked point on an image, even if the image is larger than the area it's being displayed in and the image is scrolled to one side??
If so, you don't need the scroll offset.
Create a UserControl, put a Panel on the UserControl and set it's AutoScroll property to true. Then put another Panel inside the first one. Expose a property in the UserControl to take an Image. In the setter for the Image, set the second Panel's size to match the image size. Now, when you click on the second Panel (the one showing the image), you handle the Click property of that Panel control. You'll get the coordinates of the click, relative to the upper left corner of the image Panel.

Hello,
yes I am trying to get the coordinates of a clicked image - the absolute
coordinates - not those relative to the top corner of the panel, but
relative to the top corner of the image when I've scrolled way past it. I've already tried your method, which is why I want the offset.
thanks

Offset relative to what?? I don't understand your explanation.

Hello,
I want to get the coodinate (horizontal only) of a point on the image
after I have scrolled a certain way along the X-axis of the image. So
initially, the image is displayed (perhaps showing a range of X values from 0 to 500). As I scroll along the image, using your method, the X coordinate I want would be (clicked value of X + scroll bar offset) - as the clicked value of X only gives the coordinated relative to the panel and NOT the image. As an aside, I have already done this in Delphi 6, but this is a port to C#, and it appears that I will need to use hscrollbar and get its offset from hscrollbar.Value, as it appears this cannot be obtained from the panel scrollbar.
regards
pcjd

You don't need the scrollbar values. I've done the very same thing wihtout them, well getting the clicked offset anyway. Since the panel is exactly the size of the image, you get the coordinates of where the user clicked in the panel, relative to the top left corner of the panel. This translates to getting the coord's in the image itself.
I'm failing to see where the problem is and why you think this doesn't work.
