XML Documentation & IntelliSense

I have a C# .NET 1.1 solution that consists of 2 projects. The first project
is a class library that has well formed XML documenation. In this project
IntelliSense shows me the description of each method.
I have added a reference to this class library in the second project. But
IntelliSense doesn't show me the description of any method.
Note: I have compiled the class library so that it generates a doc file
named assemblyname.dll.xml but still IntelliSense doesn't show any
description.
I have read all the posts but still can't find a solution to make
IntelliSense show the description of my methods.
 
I was able to reproduce this behavior when the reference to the class library
is from the GAC. If the same version of your class library is installed in
the GAC the xml comments will not show in intellisense. When setting your
reference make sure your reference is from the bin directory where the class
library's assembly is, usually the bin\debug directory. The xml must also be
in this directory. If this does not work, then make sure to remove the dll
from the GAC.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help. However my assemblies are not installed in GAC.
I added the reference to my assembly both using the projects tab or by
browsing to the dll file from the first tab but still IntelliSense doesn't
show the description of my methods.

Thanks in advance,
Shehab.
