Hi, two questions about the GAC:

1) If I have added a .NET component to the GAC, should it show up in
the .NET Components tab under Add References? If not, how do I get it
to show up in this list?

I'm setting up the Logging Application Block and have followed all the
steps to add it to the GAC, but it doesn't show up in the .NET
Component references as the instructions say it should.

2) If a component is in the GAC and I update the source code and
recompile, do I need to manually refresh the GAC with the updated
component, or does this happen automatically when I recompile the
code?

thanks,
Simon.

You must manually install the new version.
