Working with shared files in ASP .NET and VS 2005

Working with shared files in ASP .NET and VS 2005

I have a solution file for a site I am currently starting that contains a number
of project. Each project has a different purpose and do not interact together.
However, they all share the same common formatting. I have been looking high and
low for a way to allow my projects to share CSS files, and so far I have had no
luck in Visual Studio 2005. It is extremely frustrating. The only mention I've
seen of it has to do with IIS and virtual folders, which I do not want to use. I
work entirely from within VS. I also want to share C# files, but I know this can
be done by using the DLLs (although you should be able to do it directly to, I
would think).

 Is there any way to achieve this in Visual Studio? Ideally I'd like to create a
top-level 'include' folder in my solution, which any project in that solution
had access to. That way I could put my images, css, etc. in it. Copy-pasting
everything is absolutely horrible.

Going to be tough to deploy anything without IIS.  But good luck on it.

I have IIS for deployment. I'm not deploying, though - I'm developing, which
(for what I'm doing) does not require IIS.

 

But to the matter at hand, I really just want to be able to share css files
between projects. Does anyone know how to do this? I can add the css file to the
project top-level, but it just can't be referenced. Frustrating.
