Using VS 2005, C#.
I want to make 3 class libraries that differ only by conditional symbols.
If I create multiple projects in my solution, and refer to the source file
and assembly info file, each gets copied to each project's own directory -
leaving me with three identical sets of files to maintain! I want to be able
to point each project toward a single set of source files.
Can it be done?

Thanks,
d

Never mind, I found out how from a an old post here. When selecting the file
to Add Existing... to my project, the Add button has a drop down for Add
Link. Use this to refer to the original file instead of copying it.
