I would like to create utils class library (eg, logging, etc)
I want to use the utils solution in several independent applications.

I'm using source control of course...

- Does that mean I should manage utils solution (holding the utils class library)
and also separate solution for each application?

- What do I have to do to use the utils class library from ApllicationA solution?

- Can ApplicationA solution also include the utils solution (eg, go to definition works?)

- If that is possible, does that mean that any change programmerA apply to utils library via ApplicationA solution , also affects ApplicationB solution using the same utils class library

- What do we to do when we fix a bug in utils solution?
- How does the fix bubbles to ApplicationA and B?

All you have to do is build the release version of your library - I assume it is a DLL? - and add a reference in the other projects. They will then access the release version. You can continue developing the debug version of the control and rebuild the release only when it is ready.

You do not have to add a project to any other solution, or the source code - just the reference (and obviously the using if you want that).
