GAC problem

[Alex]

Here is my scenario:

I compile a class library with strong name(.snk) specified. I run
gacutil.exe to install the assembly. It appears in the GAC. When I go to Add
Reference of another project, the assembly does not appear in the .NET tab,
is this correct behavior?

Thanks.

You can use browse button to find it yourself. But you can
point only the original .dll file out. I don't completely
understand why it is impossible to point out to the GAC's
copy of the assembly.

There is a registry hack that will allow you to see your assembly under the
..NET tab, but it really is a hack. Search around the C# NG or on Google and
you'll likely run across a couple of threads that describe it (sorry I dont
have a link).
