How to make a "Link" REFERENCE to a project (no DLL, no file copy)

Hi,

Assume that I have a web application.
I want to be able to use the classes that are
in another project (say a Win application)
on which I am working at the same time.

Is it possible to "include as link" the files
of the win application in the web application?

Note that I am clearly aware that it is possible to
reference a DLL. I am asking something different.

I would like to be able to "see" the source code files
of the win from the web application application so that
if I make a change to a source file, that change will be
there for the win application too.

Does anyone know how can I reference (as links, not copy)
the files of the win app from the web app ??

The add existing project does not seem to have a "link" option (or I do
not see it) .
It seems to me that there was one in the 2003 version.

Hello pamelaflue***@libero.it,

Well, as it's obvious you want to functionality of these classes in more
than on project it would be appropriate to plit them off into a DLL. You
would then create a Blank Solution, add the winforms project, add the class
library project, add the web project.. then have the web and winforms projects
reference the class lib project (Projects tab in Add References dialog).
