I'm developing a .NET 开发者_如何学CWINDOWS FORM Application , I need to develop a search module and this search could be used in many other applications,

i'm wondering what is best to to Develeop Search as :

DLL and include it in the Application

OR

EXE file and execute it from other applications

what is the Advantages and Disadvantages for each way????


I would go with putting the form in a class library and then adding it as a reference to all the projects I need it. Shelling out and executing it in a separate executable sounds messy. You also lose the ability to interact with the form object.


If the search module is going to be used in many application, I recommend that you create it as a DLL (Class Library) and use it from the applications.

Advantages :

  • It's easier to reuse code
  • You don't have to track multiple versions of the search module if it's going to be updated/maintained in the future (You deploy only the DLL)
  • You can easily get another developer to work on this feature while you work on something else.

Disadvantages:

  • It's a pain switching projects in VS, especially if you already have many in the same solution


Generally, it is preferred to use a DLL and add it to your project as reference. Some advantages are:

  1. You can reuse the classes, you don't have to implement some kind of inter-process communication
  2. Starting a new application costs a lot of time as compared to instantiating a new class
