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."
