I create a new project under the same solution explorer but not sure what and how to do next

Answer 1

Why not create a class library (dll) with the objects, and include it in both projects? That's common for anything you find yourself sharing among other [independant] projects.

MySolution
├ Project.PrintingLibrary
│ └ PrintingLibrary.cs
├ Project.ApplicationA
│ └ References
│   └ Project.PrintingLibrary.dll
├ Project.ApplicationB
│ └ References
│   └ Project.PrintingLibrary.dll

Answer 2

In Project B, add a reference to Project A. Create a new class in Project B, and specify that it inherits from the class in Project A as shown:

C#:

public class ClassB : ProjectA.ClassA    
{
//...
}

VB.Net:

Public Class ClassB
    Inherits ProjectA.ClassA
    '...
End Class
