I'm starting to generate some reusable code that's going to be used in alot of my code behind pages and was wondering where most people put this stuff.

Hi Brian,

At work, we created a few seperate solutions containing our utility classes.  The solutions are based on high level categories (i.e. Formatting & Validation, Services, User Controls, etc).  Then within each solution we have the appropriate projects.  Each project contains the appropriate classes and creates it's own dll.  Then in our DNN Modules we just reference the nexessary dll the same way you reference the core Dotnetnuke DLL's.  The naming convention we use for the namespaces is...

For DotNetNuke specific code:

MyCompany.DNN.Utilities.BaseClasses...

For generic ASP.NET code:

MyCompany.ASPNET.Utilities.BaseClasses...

Hope this helps,

Chuck R.

I do something similar to what Chuck has outlined above.  The biggest part is ensuring when installing the module(s) that you don't accidentally have a needed dependency for another module removed if another module is un-installed.
