I use the "Add as Link". Again my goal was not to create a reusable library, but rather as a programming challenge to learn C# >I don't think you'll be able to do this for assemblies written in any other language, >e.g. VB.NET. In fact, people using these languages are basically locked out of your library, >at least without a wrapper to make it a DLL (I think). Correct, those who want to use it in other languages, can use existing dlls, which work just fine. For example, the SQLite ADO.NET Provider from sqlite.phxsoftware.com is an excellent solution >Also, this approach (making copies of the code) introduces parallel maintenance issues, esp. True >There is also the "Add as Link" feature, which is similar to #include in C++. I had to recreate TCL for C# as well in order to run the test harness; So I use the Add as Link for both the test harness as well as the shell application >I don't mean to defy your disclaimer; these are topics of some practical importance to me. >I deal with C++ / Sqlite apps daily that may eventually need to be (rapidly) transitioned to C#. >My growing sentiment is that .NET does not really lend itself to this... I guess I want "#include" from C++. You can call SQLite from C# by using existing wrappers. Again, my goal was to learn OOP using something I could use. >Another area I miss "#include" is in declaring simple constants; YUP -- this was a real challenge in the porting.
