Hello,

I want to add a new custom tab in the "Add References"
dialog box. Is there a way to do so? This will help us to
add all references to only our projects.
(I know abt the option of adding myassembly folder in
registry, so that the assemblies would be visible in .NET
tab, but we want to have a seperate tab from our own
project assemblies)

Is that possible directly, indirectly via plugging in?

Please do help, awaiting your reply
Thanks
Uma

I think that is not possible at all, but you could make an add-in that adds
a "Add my references..." to the context menu of a project in the Solution
Exporer and then show your own dialog.
