.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Extensibility / May 2006vs 2005: What happened to AssemblyFolders reg key?
Hello all, I am moving to VS2005 from VS2003. I have some .NET custom controls that I want to appear in the toolbox. These controls load other assemblies, so I need to specify the path to the dependent assemblies. In VS 2003 this was done with a registry key AssemblyFolders. How do you specify the path in 2005? Regards, Bob Rundle Hi Bob, Please refer to this article on MSDN: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ftcwa60a.aspx Hope this helps, SD > Hello all, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Regards, > Bob Rundle I don't think that is the answer. The "Add Reference" box is used to specify dependent assemblies for a project. I need to specify dependent assemblies for the control I am loading into the Toolbox. To do this in VS 2003. There was a registry key AssemblyFolders which contained path to directories where dependent assemblies for controls in the toolbox were found. Otherwise the control cannot find dependent assemblies even if they are in the same directory as the control you are loading. You can put the dependent assemblies in the GAC, but this is not best approach for every dependent assembly.
