Installing assemblies into the gac...

MO

Why when I install an assembly into the gac is it not seen in the 'Add
Reference' dialog box under the .NET tab??? Everything works just fine, and
I can see it in the 'WINDOWS\assembly' folder -- just curious why it doesn't
show up in the VS .NET dialog box when you try to add a reference in your
application....

using VS .NET 2003, I've tried the gacutil and windows installer methods as
well as just dragging the assembly into the gac....

no big deal, just seems strange to me... am I missing something?


thx,
mo

I think what you're missing is that VS references don't by default point to the
GAC. They are references to the
<WindowsFolder>\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v<whatever>.
