CS0436: Type conflicts with the imported type

Question

I am including an instance of the same source files in multiple assemblies using the Add As Link option. I specifically need to include an instance of the same source withi

Answer 1

The only time conflicts occur is when two dependent classes include the same class. There are two workarounds:

1. Disable the warning in classes that cause CS0436:

   #pragma warning disable 0436
   

2. Have a separate instance of the class, uniquely named in each client project (undesirable from a maintenance point of view).

EDIT: There is also a solution: do what Mark suggests below, and mark duplicate classes internal.
