I have a dll that I want to reference in various projects; I have it
strongly named and used the gacutil to put it in the GAC. I can browse to
the assembly directory and see the dll, but in Visual Studio, when I use the
add reference dialog box, the assembly doesn't appear. I've tried searching
and adding a key to the registry to point to the directory but it still
doesn't appear.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Rod,

Yeah, i face the same thing here. But what i did, was manually navigate to
the folder where my dll resides in. Yes, my dll is registerd into the GAC.

Example:

i) C:\AppDlls\myApp.dll // registered into GAC

ii) C:\WebApp\webapp.sln // reference i) manually as i can't find in the add
reference tab...

Cheers.
