Referencing custom DLLs, in GAC, from VS.NET

Hi,

I have created a few DLLs and then installed them into the GAC on another
machine using a Setup program generated using VS.NET.

The DLLs are in the GAC, but when I go into VS.NET, start a project and then
choose to add a reference they do not show up in the dialog box.

Can someone please tell me why?

Thanks

Michael
 
Hi,

To show your assemblies in the "Add reference" dialogbox you need to set the
location of the assemblies in the windows registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\AssemblyFolders

You will need to add a new subkey, whose default value points to the
directory where the new assemblies are located.

Regards,

Ron
