Does a project have to be deployed?

I have reached a spot of confusion with BizTalk and applications.

I have a project that has common schemas that I want to use across different
applications.  Should I deploy these into a seperate application?

How can another application share them then?

Thanks!

When you say "use across applications" do you mean the Admin Console

When you say "use across applications" do you mean the Admin Console
applications, or simply different VS.NET projects

If the latter, than you simply add a reference to your shared schemas
project and you're good to go.

If the former, than you would create a "common" application in the Admin
Console that holds your schemas, and then in your other application, you can
add a reference (via the Admin Console) to the "common" application, if you'd
like.  As long as those schemas are deployed (and referenced in your VS.NET
project), BizTalk can use them at runtime, regardless of which administrative
application they reside in.
