add references

[Tony Johansson]

Hi!

I have created an assembly library called MyClassLib and added a strong key
so it has now been copied to the GAC.
I have also verified that the MyClassLib is within the GAC.
I have also a console app and when I click add References I had assumed that
MyClassLib would have been visible
in the .NET tab in the add reference dialog but it wasn't. So therefore I
had to use the projects tab instead to add
MyClassLib to the console app.

So my question is what is the criteria on those files that is displayed in
the .tab .NET when looking at the add references dialog ?

I don't know what the current situation is, but I recall that (at least
in) VS2005, the list of assemblies on the .NET tab in the "Add
Reference" dialog was build up from a list of keys in the registry.

I don't have a reference right now, but google for something with the
keywords "Visual Studio" "add reference" and "assembly" and something
should turn up.
