Multiple ASP.NET web applications depending on a common base application?

I would, if I were you, consider creating a NuGet package from your main application base. (NuGet packages can be kept entirely private, so you don't have to worry about open source requirements...).

One path you could take is to deploy all of the sites into the same directory.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
