For this walkthrough, we will setup two solutions. One is a shared library to simulate common code that is used by multiple projects. The other is an application that will utilize the shared library.

We will also setup branching and merging to control which applications use the shared library. Often, people will just make a reference to the shared library. Visual Studio will copy the output to the build folder and it will work. The problem arises when you have to update that shared library with 5, 10, or more applications, but you are not sure what code base is used by which version of the DLL.

One of the deficiencies of Visual Studio, is that it does not automatically update the version in the Assembly before the build.
