Accessing data of referencing project in referenced project in C#

I have a login project which authenticates the user(....obviously) and another project Load which is referenced in the login project. Now, I need to access a data member of a class of the login project in a class of the Load project but how do I do this without running into circular dependency? I don't see how referencing login dll or creating a separate project referencing login and in turn referenced by Load would solve this.

Both projects are windows forms.

Thanks for your patience. I know it's a silly question and I am truly sorry about that.

Your situation is like this:

Project A
+-> References Project B
+-  Class X

Project B
+-  Class Y
    +- Needs Data from Class X

There are two ways to resolve this:

Option A

Move the data from Class X that you need in Class Y to some class in Project B. Now both Projects have access to the information.

Option B

Move the date from Class X that you need in Class Y to some class in a third Project C and reference that from both other Projects. Large solutions often have a 'Data' or 'Model' Project that holds data classes used by multiple other projects

One way of dealing with circular references is: Extract interfaces from both "login" and "load" project and put them in to a single project, which you will reference.
