具有通用布局的解决方案中的多个MVC项目

Question

I have searched and looked around for possible solutions, but have not found it. Basically there's a need for us to have multiple projects in a solution, since most of our mvc apps use common library such as AD authentication, SQL objects. And we want all our mvc web app to have a common layout. below are some of the possible solution proposed by others I've seen online:

1. Area - it is nice, does almost what I wanted except it compiles into one single dll. The reason why I prefer multiple projects is that each team can work on certain project compile into its own dll and will not affect the overall application.

2. Razor generator - I tested this out. I could be wrong, but this tool is used mainly for sharing views/controllers across projects. I don't think this applies to what I'm looking for.

Answer 1

Having multiple mvc project in solution just for separating them for teams is not a good idea as you will have to add lot's of configuration both in development process and deployment. as you mentioned the first solution is better. but I suggest you to use portable areas of mvc if you really want to separate the concerns of your team working and don't need multiple standalone mvc project. you can embed a _layout in a core class library (a core assembly for all the common configurations of your areas) and reference all of the ares.
