What I want is a single folder, in it a folder for program 1, a folder for program 2, a folder for the dll and a serialized list that all three can access

How does one go about setting up a collection of folders to get the same namespace for a dll and two separate programs? I tried creating a project for each but, that creates with it completely different namespaces and separate folders. As far as I can see vb doesn't let you save the dll and two programs in the same folder - without a ridiculous number of same - namefolders two levels deep. Making it impossible to know where things really are. A solution is a group of projects - but how can you deploy anything but a single project?

I have tried cutting and pasting my code into a variety of best guess scenarios and none it really brings me any closer to getting this figured out.

Remember the good old days when a file didn't have anything you didn't put in it or you could actually be productive without a mammoth amount of overhead or garbage?
