Reference assembly in GAC

[Steve Amey]

Hi all

I have created an assembly that I want to install in the GAC. I have created
a Strong-Name for the assembly and then used the AssemblyKeyFileAttribute to
point to the snk file. I then dragged the assembly from explorer into the
GAC and it was placed in the GAC ok.

I then go into my project and try to add a reference, and I thought that
everything under the .NET tab were assemblies that were in the GAC (I may be
wrong in this), and my assembly was not displaying in the list. So I have 2
questions:

1. In the GAC in explorer my assembly is called CMSLConnect, there are other
assemblies in the GAC that have the full namespace ie. System.Windows.Forms,
how can I display the entire namespace for my assembly in the GAC? The
namespace in the project is CompanyName.Data and the class is called
CMSLConnect.

2. Should the assembly that I placed in the GAC show up on the .NET tab of
the references dialog box? If it is then is there any reason why mine is not
showing? All I want to do is install my assembly into the GAC and then
reference that assembly from my projects.

Thank you for any help.

Steve

My mistake. I've just searched in this group and found the answer in Bill's
