Hi John, I think it's you bud :-) I think most people quite like compartmentalising their code using projects and NameSpaces. Adding a ref or Using is a small price to pay IMO. If your project is an internal project for your DBFH then 1 solution and 1 project is probably fine for you. However, I'd still break it down using namespaces, something like... Colby.DBFH.Forms Colby.DBFH.Data Colby.DBFH.Data.Services Colby.DBFH.Data.Entities Colby.DBFH.Data.Providers Colby.DBFH.Tools Colby.DBFH.Settings Each namespace can be it's own project or all mixed together any way you like. Put your classes in the appropriate namespaces and as the solution grows you will be able to keep organised. (and it looks nice in object explorer) HTH Michael M I launched in to building a C# application where I divided the solution into projects. It certainly seems to make sense, a solution can have multiple solutions, and each solution becomes an arm in a tree structure inside of the solution. OTOH each project has an entire set of properties all it's own. They are not inherited from parent (solution) properties. I don't claim to be any guru but it sure seems that many of the properties in the project really should apply to the entire solution. For example each project has a properties.Settings. However there is no Solution.properties object at all AFAICT, never mind a Solution.Properties.Settings. Thus (for example) I have a server name, a bunch of paths on the server etc. All of those things have to be declared over and over in each project's Properties.Setting or... have to be declared in one specific project and then that project referenced in every other project. Is it just me or is this project thing a lot of extra effort for what you get? What specifically DO you get? -- John W.
