Ive copied my DLL to the GAC and ive verified it is in the GAC by listing all assemblies with
gacutil -l
Still i cant reference to it in Visual Studio since it wont be listed. Is there some kind of refresh i need to do? Ive tried reinstalling and restarting.
The "Add Reference" dialog in Visual Studio is independent of the GAC as it is controlled by the AssemblyFolders registry key. Hence, if your assembly doesn't appear in the "Add Reference" dialog then you are missing a corresponding registry key. Please see a detailed guidance from Microsoft about how to add a registry key to list an assembly in Visual Studio for direct referencing here.
