Sharing bin folders between different ASP.NET projects

Does anyone know if it's possible for 开发者_运维知识库multiple projects to reference/share the same bin folder? Thanks.

As long as all of the DLLs are in the same "bin" folder, multiple apps can be run from within the same IIS application. To IIS, this just looks like a single application because there is a single "bin" folder.

This probably shouldn't be done unless you have a good reason, though. You lose process isolation and make the deployments harder.

I normally have a Library folder in my project root then link all of the projects in the solution to the same dll via the Browse tab under 'Add Resource'.

You may want to think about what you actually want to do here. Say you manage to set this up and you wind up with three projects, all referencing assembly B in one place.

You have to make a 'breaking' update to assembly B to satisfy a requirement for one of those projects, but you don't have time to update the other two to suit. What do you do in this situation?
