How do I compile C# code as a library instead of an executable?

Question

I have a C# console application in Visual Studio 2010. It has a Main() method as well as a bunch of utility classes. I\'d like those utility classes to be available to other

At first, from the point of view of managed libraries it does not matter what kind of Output type is your managed library. I mean that you can successfully reference ConsoleApplication1.exe from ConsoleApplication2.exe project (so you have no reason to convert ConsoleApplication1.exe to ConsoleApplication1.dll).

At second, I've tried to reproduce your situation, but... without effect. My VS displays types/methods from ConsoleApplication1.dll. One reason I can suppose is that you have forgotten to set visibility modifier (public keyword) for your utility classes.
