Imported Solution Package - How to Reference Class Files from Separate Project instead of External DLL?

Question

Good Morning,

I'm attempting to modify a webpart for which the original source code is unavailable.  I've imported the solution package containing the webpart files with corresponding features and elements.  I noticed that the imported package references a DLL that I recently decompiled to change namespaces etc.  The decompiled classes are in a separate project within the same solution in visual studio.

How do I "repackage" the imported solution such that it references the class files in my separate project in the same VS2010 solution?  What changes need to be made with regard to the imported webpart etc. so that when the revised webpart is deployed it will install correctly and without error?

Thanks,

Sid

Hi Sid,

Thanks for your post!

I am trying to involve some one familiar with this topic to do some further research.

VS2010 should allow to reference the class files and then all you would need to do is repackage it. Have you tried this?
