GAC assembly in VS.Net Add-Reference box?

[Mark]

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
Mark

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_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramewor k\AssemblyFolders\YourCommonAss
emblyFolderNameHere\(Default) of PATH_TO_YOUR_COMMON_ASSEMBLY_FOLDER_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\IDE\PublicAssemblies. 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.
