GAC - Library - Web Projects

[news.bellatlantic.net]

We are looking at building a library that contains classes that the
developers can access across the enterprise (mostly web). I looked at
installing the library in the GAC and was able to do so relatively easily.
The problem I have is I don't know how to reference it in my project now
that it's in the GAC. I only found one note on the internet that makes me
think that we should develop projects that use the assembly (not in GAC) and
when we put it in production .Net looks for the assembly in the GAC and if
it finds one with the same signature it uses it. Is this right?

Thanks for your help!

hi
if you are using VS.NET you can add reference to the assembly in GAC by
right clicking the Refrences in the solution explorer of your project .

I would normally make a reference this way for private assemblies.Where will
I find the assembly in the GAC? I can't see DLL's in the GAC. Thanks for
your help.
