Hi,

I have several websites which share 99% the same code.
At the moment i use a text diff program to synchronize changes between
each site. This is a right pain because theres lots of sites and lots
of code!

Because most of the code is the same, surely there must be some way i
can share this between sites?

What I was thinking i could do is make a project of all the common
code, and then for each site have a multi-project solution which
includes the common project, and a project containing the site
specific code. However, it doesnt look like you can publish a solution
(so that all sub-projects get compiled into one), so that doesnt
really solve my problem.

The other alternative i was thinking of was simply including a common
folder into all my site projects. However, i cant have the common code
within a /common/ folder, it needs to be in the root with everything
else :(

Am i missing something, or does anyone have any alternative solutions?

Thanks

Andrew
 
you can solve it with 2 ways.

1. Move common code to DLL project and reference that DLL in every project.
2. Using SourceSafe. I've never done it before but know it's possible from
times I got my MCSD. You can "merge" different folders into one folder in
SourceSafe. So when you modify file in one project it will be automatically
modified in all others. You will only have to get latest version and
recompile
