problem with Global Assembly Cache (GAC) and add reference

[Pieter]

Hi,

I've installed a dll in the GAC (gacutil /i Employee.dll). I can see the
installed dll by browsing to the GAC directory. The only thing I can't do is
adding a reference to it in VS.NET 2003 because the dll isn't listed there.
How do I get VS.NET to display the dll and link to the GAC?

Any help appreciated!

Best regards,
Pieter

Hi Pieter,

It may be as simple as clicking the 'browse' button in the references dialog
to find it.

HTH,

Bernie

Thank you both for the help! I'll just browse to the dll itself and hope
that the GAC will do the rest if at a later moment the dll is moved to
another location (but still in the GAC).
