Your project build type must be 'Class Library' to generate an assembly DLL. All classes inside of a single project will be compiled into a single library. For console applications, if you go to the project's properties under the 'Application' tab, you can change the output type to 'Class Library' from 'Console Application'.

Also, the assembly DLL isn't put directly in the project folder. It goes in the \bin\ folder. For instance, the path will look like: MyProject\bin\Debug\MyProject.dll.

Each project has one DLL file.

So for example your project has the namespace "Car" and it contains two classes. Class "Engine" and class "Tire. If you build this project into a class library your .dll contains the two classes.

You can load this dll in another project as reference. Now you can use Car.engine and Car.tire.

thanks .. I understood :) the new namespace doesn't appear because it doesn't contain public class ..
