I have a silverlight 4 project that uses wcf ria services to connect to the server. I have a public class that I need to use on both the client (silverlight) and server. What is the best way to accomplish this?
I have tried using the .shared.cs file convention on the server as well as a linked file (original is on the server). The client thought there was a duplicate class so I changed it to a partial class (I would prefer not to). Then it complained about duplicate properties so I tried the solution to this stack overflow question. The problem I run into using this solution is not being able to access my enumerations that are in the original class on the server.
I also tried a creating a class library project that both of the other projects could reference (silverlight client and server). The problem is finding a type of project to create that both of the projects can reference. Silverlight complains about non silverlight projects and vice versa.
