Hi Every one, I am working on deployment of a library. When the library installs on a user's machine, I want that the installed assemblies should get listed in the "Add Reference" (AddRef) dialog box of the user's Visual Studio .NET. I tried to make some entries into registry so that the assemblies can be shown in the "AddRef" dialog. I succeeded in showing them for VS 2005 and VS 2003 for .NET project types. The problem is: When a user starts Visual Studio .NET 2003 and opt to create/open a device project (PDA / Win CE / Pocket PC). When the project opens and user open the Add Reference dialog box, my assemblies are not listed there. Visual Studio Application Type Assembly appearing in Release (.NET /Device) Add Reference Dialog? ============================================ 2003 .NET Yes 2003 Pocket PC NO :-( 2005 .NET Yes 2005 Pocket PC Yes I tried to place my assembly path entries in: (1) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework\v1.0.5000\PocketP C\AssemblyFoldersEx (2) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework\v1.0.5000\Windows CE\AssemblyFoldersEx (3) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework\v1.0.5000.0\Pocke tPC\AssemblyFoldersEX (4) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework\v1.0.5000.0\Windo wsCE\AssemblyFoldersEX (5) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\AssemblyFolders It works for all the rest 3, but didn't worked for Visual Studio 2003 (Device Projects). When I copied my assemblies to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\ (which is specified in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework\sdkInstallRoot), then my assemblies are visible in the AddRef dialog box. Is there any way, tell Visual Studio 2003 that pick my assemblies from <PATH>, instead of copying them to sdkInstallRoot ? Thanks, *(Vipul)() ; =============== VIPUL PATHAK India.
