Henrik, >From the 'Add Reference' dialogue, browse to the physical location where your assembly was registered into the GAC.
If you forgot where this was you can find out by looking at the properties of your assembly in the GAC (assuming you have the fusion shell extension installed) and examining the CodeBase property). If you want your own assemblies top be listed in the 'Add Reference' dialogue (whether installed in the GAC or not) you can do this: In the registry go to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders\ Add a new subkey to the above: e.g. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders\MyLi bFiles then edit the (Default) string path to point to the directory where the assemblies are located: e.g. c:\AppsDev.Net\MyLibFiles Hope this helps Kev >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Henrik Enemark Rasmussen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >>Sent: 03 June 2002 14:35 >>To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Subject: [DOTNET] Reference to assembly in the GAC >> >> >>I have an assembly installed in the GAC.
