I have a C# console application in Visual Studio 2010. It has a Main() method as well as a bunch of utility classes. I'd like those utility classes to be available to other solutions. From reading online it seems that I need to compile it as a Class Library (DLL). So here's what I did:
However, neither IntelliSense nor the Object Browser could find the classes inside that DLL.
I tried recompiling several different Console Applications as Class Libraries and got the same result. I also noticed that it works if I initially create the solution as a Class Library, but not if I convert it to one later.
Any tips?

The Unix command for compiling C code is gcc. This is a compiler from Gnu for Linux. If you are using a Unix machine like Solaris you may need to use the command cc.) When you compile your program the compiler produces a file containing binary code which is directly readable by the machine you are on.
Opening a file is performed using the fopen() function defined in the stdio.h header file. The syntax for opening a file in standard I/O is: ptr = fopen("fileopen","mode");
C is a mid-level language and it needs a compiler to convert it into an executable code so that the program can be run on our machine.
You do not need to build it as a dll. VS 2010 (and IIRC 2008) allow referencing exe assemblies. All you need is for they relevant types to be declared public - top-level classes defualt to internal if you don't add a specifier.
