[a bit off-topic, perhaps]

As a general advice, implement all your domain-specific classes in a 
separate library (lib or dll) and use that library from the test and 
application projects. The only thing you then need to do in VS.NET 2003 is 
to add a dependency on the library from the other projects - the library is 
then automatically used when linking.
