adding to "Add Reference" dialog

[Brad Quinn]

Is there a way to add an assembly to the .NET tab of
the "Add Reference" dialog?

It's amazing what changing one little keyword will cause
search to pull up.

Thanks Nick,

Here is a post-build step that I whipped up;

for %%a in ($(TargetDir)*.dll) do gacutil /i "%%a" /f
echo Windows Registry Editor Version
5.00>$(ProjectName).reg
echo
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\Assem
blyFolders\$(ProjectName)]>>$(ProjectName).reg
set td=$(TargetDir)
echo @="%td:\=\\%">>$(ProjectName).reg
regedit $(ProjectName).reg

Watch out for word wrap.
