Steve,

 I can answer your first question. First, you should sign your assembly with a strong name key pair. Then, you should install your assembly in the GAC. Once you've installed it in the GAC, you should also place a copy in the Program Files (or somewhere else that you can reference). Then, you need to create a registry key at:

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders\<CustomName> and the default key should be the location of the assebly on the file system.

 Matt Hawley, MCAD .NET http://www.eworldui.net Hi,
 
 I just installed a 3rd party assembly on my machine, and now when I bring up
 Visual Studio, it shows the assembly in the list when I choose Add
 Reference.
 
 My 1st question is, how can I get my assemblies to show up in that list?
 
 2nd question -- how can I get assemblies to be automatically found by
 applications when the apps are deployed to servers that just have the
 runtime?
 
 Thanks,
 Steve
