Sharing code located in TFS
-
Hi, We have a Windows Forms project located in TFS source control. We want to release parts of the code as a Class Library. This should be done in the easiest possible way. In VSS we had the possibility to share source files. This is the exact behaviour that I want, but it's not neccessary to be able to edit the shared files in the dll project. I've tried to use branching in the TFS. It seems to work but falls short on the simple part. As I see it, I need to banch the whole project if I want simple merging. If I branch file by file I seem to have to merge file by file as well, which seems a bit bad considering the size of the project. Any suggestions? BR Christian

If your code is contained in a project, or even just a folder, you can just branch that. Merging works pretty well for that.
I have tried that, but since I want to share part of another project it seems like I must either branch the whole project or merge the files one by one when I want to update the second project. It seems to me like there must be a better way.
