ASP.NET MVC 2 RC areas and shared models

Question

Once new area is created by the means of Visual Studio context menu, there are three folders: Controllers, Models, Views. Is it supposed that every area should have it's own model classes? Or is it acceptable/widely-used/good for all areas to share the same model classes in the root Models folder?

My project differs Domain Model and View Model, so Models folder contain View Models.

And yes, several views of several areas seems to share the same View-Models some way.

Answer 1

If your View Models are shared by several Areas, put them into ~/Models - there is no any restiriction on that
