Use a common project across numerous solutions in the ASP.NET space.

Today is my first at Santanna Energy and one of the things I've been exposed to already is the use of common projects across numerous solutions. To empower this, a solution utilizing the common project will have a reference out to the common project at one of its own projects that has a path setting which references a file share on the network. I suppose the server holding IIS will need to be able to access this share for the application to run (assuming it is a web app) and a local environment will need to be able to access the share to run an app in Visual Studio. The file share will hold .dlls published from the common project will be kept in its own solution, perhaps with other comparable common projects. This shape of things allows the commonly accessed item to be consistently a work in progress without the need to constantly update dependent solutions. Instead, when one changes the common project, one just has to remember to publish a .dll to the share to broadcast the changes to all subscribers. Cool.
