Have you ever create an application where you want to share resources between them but you had to create multiple libraries to because those project use different compiler? If your like this often happen. In my case we face that issue. To solve the issue we had to create multiple libraries and refer class using linked files in the project. This is what we have to do in some project where we have a Silverlight 4 app and a Windows Phone 7 app. But this is not the most efficient way to do it.
Microsoft is now offering a solution for that kind of issue. The solution is called Portable Library, which is currently in CTP. So now you can create a single class library in which you can select which kind of project it should be compatible with. You should give it a look, because this may help you solve many issue and save times related with having common class libraries for multiple technologies.
