```var other = new StackReference("&lt;stackname&gt;");
var otherOutput = other.GetOutput("x");```

Thanks <@U01FB0HRB2Q>.  I am still getting the same error using the above syntax though.

In the top level project I am creating my workspace and storing it in a variable called workspace (type Pulumi.AzureNative.OperationalInsights.Workspace).

In order to pass this to
```[Output]
public Output&lt;Pulumi.AzureNative.OperationalInsights.Workspace&gt; LogAnalyticsWorkspace { get; set; }```
I am using
```this.LogAnalyticsWorkspace = Pulumi.Output.Create(workspace);```
Does that look correct?

I think that's because you're passing a resource between stacks. You can't do that. I suggest passing the name of the resource, and then using the `GetWorkspace` method in the second project to get the values you need. <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/azure-native/operationalinsights/getworkspace/>

<@U01FB0HRB2Q> OK I think I'm making progress.  I can pass across the names happily now.  I am passing the resourceGroupName and the workspaceName as the getWorkspace function seems to need both.

They get read into the second project as types Output&lt;string&gt; so I can't pass them to getWorkspace directly as it only accepts strings.  I can work around this with some ugly code like

```var ws = Pulumi.Output.Tuple(resourceGroupName, workspaceName).Apply(names =&gt;
{
	return Pulumi.AzureNative.OperationalInsights.GetWorkspace.InvokeAsync(new Pulumi.AzureNative.OperationalInsights.GetWorkspaceArgs
	{
		ResourceGroupName = names.Item1,
		WorkspaceName = names.Item2
     });
});```
Am I overcomplicating things with the above or is that the only way?

That still only returns me an Output&lt;GetWorkspaceResult&gt; so I assume I would then need to use something like Pulumi.AzureNative.OperationalInsights.Workspace.Get to get at the actual workspace.

If so then I guess I can just pass IDs between projects and skip the getWorkspace piece altogether and just use Workspace.Get...?

Am I missing something or does that look like the basic process?

if you just need the IDs, just have the IDs as outputs
