Global Assembly Cache access

[Relaxin]

I have a library loaded in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC).
In my application I use the library by stating: using MyLibrary.MyClass

But when I try to compile the code it says that it can't find my library,
but it can find it after I add it to the references.

My question is how come it can't find it within the GAC, do I always have to
add it to the references or is there something else I needed to?

Thanks

using MyLibrary.MyClass does not mean that you are referencing an
assembly, think of it as a shortuct to prefixing all your types with
complete namespaces.

You will be able to use your library even without a using stmt by just
adding a reference to it.
