If it is just the layout page, as you say in the title, it isn't worth the trouble merging the projects in a single solution. How often does the layout change? Is normal communication impossible in the team? Easier to agree that changes in the common layout should always be done in one of the two layouts and the other will always be updated with the newer version.

You two projects A and B. And you want to use B inside project A. Go to project A and right click on it. Choose Add Reference and refer to Project B.

Then add code "Using ProjectB;". Now you can access all the public methods inside Project A.

What is the requirement for using Proj A in Proj B. Why do you need two projects.

Proj A is Main Project and Project B is separate module in the applicaiton and we want to communication(request and response) between two project and share layout page between these two project.

If that's the case you can have one project for UI and all other functionality can be moved into a class library. Is it not the case in your case??

Did you try partial views etc.?
