Shared Project Reference Manager

This preview extension enables the "Shared Projects" that are used to support Visual Studio 2013 Update 2's new "Universal App" projects to be used with almost any C#, C++ or WWA/JavaScript projects.

Shared Projects can be created by adding a new project to your solution and selecting "Shared Project (Empty)" as the project template. The template can be found under theroot template node in the New Project dialog for Visual C#, Visual C++ and JavaScript.

Shared Project references can be added to your Visual C#, Visual C++ and WWA/JavaScript projects by using the context menu on the references node of that project in Solution Explorer, and selecting "Add Shared Project Reference..."

You can add multiple Shared Projects to your solution, and you can reference multiple Shared Projects from a project.

Make sure that the Shared Project and the project that you are referencing it from are using the same language.

Please note that this extension is preview technology and may have unforseen issues in the projects and solutions that it creates.

If you do encounter issues, though, please share them in the Q and A.
