Assume I have quite a few generic C# helper classes shared among indicators and strategies. Where do you put them to avoid duplicate copies (in indicator and strategy folders) with maintenance nightmare?

A related question is, how can one make use of all the nice features in C#??

For example I have a helper class called waveState that's something like :

 
Code
                            
public class WaveST 

        
{ 
            public 
Pt P1, P2, P3, P4, P5; 
            public 
Boolean bull; 
            public 
Boolean meaty; 
            public List<
Pt> Bumps; 
            public 
Cwave cw; 
            public 
Boolean inLTF; 

            public 
void Draw(int cr, Boolean e, Color c) ... 
I have no choice but to put it in UserDefinedMethods.cs, but then I can't even use DrawLine call without getting something like "can't reference outer class methods from nested ... etc etc."

Other than no worry about memory management and the nice LINQ, it's like back to the days of straight C...
