Answer 1

First you have to add a reference to the project you wanna call it's method. Then make sure that the method is visible outside it's containing assembly (i.e defined inside a public class and it's marked as public itself).

Actually adding a a reference is a very trivial job, just select the client project (the project from which you will call the other project's function), right click and choose add reference, from the dialog, choose projects tab, select the project that contains the function you wanna reference, and Voila! You're all set.

Answer 2

You must reference SQLDiscovery project in your TestApp project.
