Visual Studio solution - issue with referenced projects and object accesibility

this might be a bit dummy question but I'm confused... I have a simple C# solution in VS with 3 projects

Now, I've added 'DAL' as a reference inside 'CORE' so now I can see and use my DB methods. However, since I want to send one of the 'CORE' classes to my INSERT method which is inside 'DAL' (to insert the full object) I cannot see or access it, and I also can't add a circular reference and add 'CORE' to 'DAL'.

public void InsertOrUpdateResultData(MyObject _obj)

MyObject is from 'CORE' project.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

If you're using the same class across multiple projects, as is your case here.. have you thought about using a shared project? You can add the shared project to all other projects you need. Based on what you've stated, it would probably be a better solution.

If you encounter such situation you are probably doing something wrong. I would suggest to rethink structure of your solution. Maybe it would be worth to create another library that can be included in both CORE and DAL projects.

You can extract the common classes inside a separate project and reference it from the CORE and DAL. Eventually you can create DTOs.
