Duplicate of: Getting assemblies to show in the .NET tab of Add Reference So, I'm using Visual C# 2008 Express Edition and I've just been on a bit of a detour as I found out that my assumption that the .NET tab of the 'Add Reference' dialog lists the contents of the GAC was incorrect. This was a bit of a problem for me as the assembly...

If I had a 1000 asp.net websites each with 30 DLL's in their /bin folders. Therefore 30,000 DLL's. Would the websites / web server / machine run faster if I registered one set of the DLL's into the Global Assembly Cache and each site used the DLL's in the GAC? e.g. would the websites collectively use less memory? ...
I just wonder - if I need to deploy an assembly into the GAC, what is the "official" way of doing it? Currently we either manually drag/drop into the c:\windows\assembly folder or we use gacutil.exe. The first way is obviously not the good one (it's manual process after all), and gacutil is part of the SDK and not available per default ...
Hi, I'm trying to run a 32 bit application (built as x86) on a 64 bit machine. I built it as x86 because it uses a 32 bit com object. Until I did this, the app couldn't load the com. Now it loads the com, but complains that it can't find microsoft.mshtml assembly. THis assembly is used by one of the (.net) dependencies. The error mess...
We have a web application that's deployed to many websites with only frontend changes, the shared backend portion has it's DLL in the GAC so we only have to update that one dll and all the sites get the update.

Is there any way to force my asp.net application to load the assembly from local bin directory since there is another older version of the assembly with the same name in the gac? I can't delete the gac version since other applications are using it and I am facing some difficulties when adding the newer version to the gac. ...
I am using some 3rd party libraries in my solution and have saved these in a separate source-controlled folder called 3rdParty. I have added references to the DLLs in this folder from the VS2008 IDE. However, I find that after saving, closing and opening the solution, the references have been changed to point to the assemblies in the GAC...
I've read a few posts around here about the GAC and why you should never deploy applications by installing shared assemblies into the GAC. This i can see sense in as it should make updating applications on client machines easier. However, there are two areas where i could see the GAC being useful is for during development and on a buil...
We are trying to have faxes automatically be sent from within an SSIS package. We have figured out how to send faxes utilizing the Right Fax COM API (rfcomapi.dll) But our issue is that in order to reference any external assembly within SSIS, that assembly must be in the GAC because SSIS utilizes VSA and not the full-blown dev environm...
I created a homemade assembly and I think I installed it correctly in the GAC using the .Net 2.0 configuration tool (mscorcfg.msu) However, when I want to reference it in visual studio, where do I find it? ( I know, I should not use the GAC anyway, but indulge me ;-)) EDIT: I did not ask the question clear enough: After installing the ...
