GAC assembly in VS.Net Add-Reference box?

Hello
I can successuly install an assembly into the GAC with GacUtil. However I cannot get the assembly to appear in the "VS.Net > Add Reference > .Net tab" (where for example, other assemblies in the GAC like System.dll appear)

Can anyone tell me how to get an an assembly to appear in VS.Net's Add-Reference .Net tab

Thanks

The items in the "references " dialog are not necessarily in the Gac. They are
actually in another directory which is defined in your registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\Mi crosoft\.NETFra mework\Assembly Folders\YourCom monAss
emblyFolderName Here\(Default) of PATH_TO_YOUR_CO MMON_ASSEMBLY_F OLDER_HERE

Hope this helps :)

Hi Mark,

The only assemblies that show up there are ones that are installed with
VS.NET or ones that are in \Microsoft Visual Studio
.NET\Common7\ID E\PublicAssembl ies. Strong-naming an assembly and
installing it into the GAC does not make it show up there.

If you want to add a reference to your assembly, you will need to click
Browse and browse to the location for the assembly.

I have a ASP.Net web application that has two assemblies that run under com+. Under Windows 2000 the two assemblies are added to com+ automatically when instantiated from the web site. For this to happen we had to change the context in which asp.net runs from machine to SYSTEM by modifying the machine.config file. Under Windows 2003 no matter how asp.net is set to run as either machine or system. I get the following error: ...

I'm using a temporary buffer to transfer some data and would rather not allocate it on the heap. The problem is that the size of the buffer is only known upon entry into the function that utilizes it and I'd rather not waste space or dynamically allocate on the heap (since it doesn't need to persist). Now I'm planning on utilizing inline assembly to modify the stack pointer directly to allocate the space I need. Here's an example:
