Setting up Dev Env with Shared Libraries

We are soon going to begin development using VB.Net and I want to set up a shared library of common code on a server that each developer will point to because I want to be sure that every developer is always using the latest common shared libraries.

We will also be using Visual Source Safe as our version management tool.

I am not sure how to best go about setting this up within the Visual Studio structure. In Delphi, we set up a library on the server and if we checked out a file in that library it would place the file on the local PC and use that file for testing the changes (as it was first in the search path) rather than what was found on the server. Then when the code was checked back in, Source Safe would move a copy of the changed file to the shared library and it would be recompiled the next time anyone accessed the code.

I want to do something similar with VB.Net, but I can't seem to find any documentation about setting up a multi-developer environment using shared libraries. Can anyone help me with this?
