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 P1P2P3P4P5
            public 
Boolean bull
            public 
Boolean meaty
            public List<
PtBumps
            public 
Cwave cw
            public 
Boolean inLTF

            public 
void Draw(int crBoolean eColor 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...
