Steps to make a project library a reference to a project with tests

Hi,
I'm new to Ranorex and just getting the automation off the ground for my project.
I am starting by creating a page object library with user code collections that I want to make available to other projects where tests will be written. Can someone point me to a resource with the actual steps?
Thanks!

Hi qa-auto,
You can create a
Module Library project and use the dll, which will be created in the output folder when building the project. Simply add the dll to the References in your other projects.

Bernhard

Hi, Bernhard,
Thanks for your reply.
I played around with things and figured out the steps. Here they are in case someone else has the same question.
1. Library Project
Project > Project Options... set Output type to "Class library"
Build Solution
see bin/Debug for .dll generated
2. Start Test Project
Right Click on References folder > Add Reference
Go to .NET Assembly Browser tab
Click Browse
Select /LibraryProjectRoot/bin/Debug/library.dll
Gets added to Selected References
Click OK
References > Library.dll is added to the list
3. To get ongoing changes to Library into Test
Rebuild Library
Go to Test Project
Right click on References> Library.dll, select Refresh
