GAC ?

[Nick Harris]

Question. When I strong name my shared assemblies and enter them into the
Global Assembly Cache why doesn't it show up in Visual Studio when I click
on add reference in the .NET tab.

Is there something i'm missing?

Re: GAC ?

GAC assemblies do not automatically show up in VS.NET's reference list.
There is a registry tweak that must be done to get them to show up.

Re: GAC ?

You'll have to manually edit the registry for vs.nt to pick up new GAC
objects. Take a look at this link:

You'll need to restart you Visual Studio.
