I'm working on a project, and I want to reference some sorce code libraries that my group shares. I dont want the VS.NET to copy the source code into my project, I want it to reference the code where it is. How can I make VS.NET do this? It always copies the files

Also, I would rather not make the libs into dll because then I have a boat load of dlls to worry about

thanks

In the file dialog you get when you select Add existing item, there's
a little dropdown arrow on the Add button. If you click the arrow, you
get a dropdown menu where you can select Link instead. That will
prevent the file from being copied to the project directory.
