Build separate assemblies within same project Visual Studio.NET


I've searched online for the answer to this but with no luck.

I was wondering if it was possible to build certain classes and or .cs files to separate assemblies within the same project?

I.e I have a number of HttpHandlers in one project, currently I am building them all into one assembly HttpHandlers, but what I was thinking if later I wanted to change the code in one of the Handlers I would need to rebuild the whole assembly, and possibly introduce problems with the other Handlers even though I haven't changed the code. I thought it would be best to keep them autonomous so an update to one handler would in no way affect the others. Ofcourse I could create separate projects but I was wondering if it was possible to do this within the same project.

I'm using VS2008 Pro.

Thanks!

  • May be you can do that with Multi-file Assemblies. But it's a lot of work.
