seperating a repeated block of code and reference it

Question

Hi I have a block of the same code in different classes how do I reference this code if I make them a seperate class or method. In php I will use include() to include this file where ever i need it. Is there anything similar to php Include() in C#. Thx. Titi

There isn't really an equivalent of this in C#. If the same block of code is used in different classes in the same application then I'd put it into a global method of a global class. For example internal static class Global { public static void SomeMethod() { // put block of code in here } } Any method in other classes which wishes to use this code can then simply call: Global.SomeMethod(); If you want to use the same block of code in different classes in different applications then I'd create a class library project from the above class (declare it to be public rather than internal) and you can then utilize the resulting dll by adding a reference to it to each application which uses it. The code to call the method would be the same as before.
