Why can't I see all the components from GAC in the "Choose Toolbox Items dialog / .NET

I've downloaded a class library's source from the internet and built it in the Visual c# 2005 Express Ed succesfully. Afterthat I've Installed the dll to the Gac

succesfully. I can see it in the directory "C:\WINDOWS\assembly".

But I can't see either my component or some other components being in the GAC in the "Choose Toolbox Items dialog / .NET Framework components tab"

of Visual c# Express 2005?

What conditions the GAC assemblies have to meet to be seen in the "Choose Toolbox Items dialog" ?

My dll may use Framework 1.0...can it be a problem? Ho

Try adding a new sub key with the default value set to the folder containing the components under the following key:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v2.0.50215\AssemblyFoldersEx

See if that works.

No, I think you need to add a key to the folllowing key for 1.1:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\AssemblyFolders
