Hi all,

I am using sharepoint based plugin that has an SDK, the SDK is installed as part of the plugin on the Sharepoint server, the SDK documentation mentions the assembly sharepoint.eplugin.dll, I couldn't find this file anywhere but I've been told everything I need is in the c:\windows\assembly folder, I've not come across this before and the files in here can't be copied out but I can see sharepoint.eplug in this folder, so my question is how do I reference these files from my desktop machine?

Many thanks

Steve

When you click add reference in your project in VS you will see .Net tab which should list your assemblies from GAC (c:\windows\assembly)

Hi, thanks but I only see items from my local PC, how would I access the GAC on another machine?
Why would you want to access the GAC on another machine? If you link to a signed assembly in your GAC, on the remote system the assembly will also be used from that system's GAC.

To have the plugin installed on my machine, I would have to install Sharepoint and SQL which may be what I need to do but I wondered if there was any easy way to connect to the remote machine and use that GAC.
You need to install it on your local system. You can not "connect" to "remote" GAC

OK thanks for the help.
