GAC assemblies not in Add Reference

[dan weichart]

I have deployed some assemblies to the GAC but am unable
to see the assemblies in the .NET tab of the Add Reference
form in Visual Studio. The assemblies do appear in the
Assembly Cache in the .NET configuration tool. Interop
assemblies were deployed via tlbimp and gacutil. A .NET
assembly that references the interop COM assemblies was
deployed via deployement project.

I know I can browse to the assembly needed, however making
these assemblies easy to find for beginning .NET
developers is one of the goals.

Any hints?

I'm working through this problem myself - I had found the link you mentioned already

....but I'm not that familiar with editing the registry. What does

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders\MyAssemblies]@="C:\\MyAssemblies

....actually mean? Which bit is the key? Which bit is the value? What type of value is it? (String, Binary or DWORD?!) When the value is created, what is the value name and what is the vaue data? What does the @ mean? Could you explain it to a registry novice please

Thanks in advance for your help

Guy.
