    well the behavior is very strange :-(
    i did what you asked (de-referene) but it didn't help .
    i went over the KB and i did exactly the same but it still doesn't work
.
    but i notice that you wrote that when i m referencing the dll the path
property should point to the GAC
    and in my project it is not pointed to the GAC , only to the dll source
itself .
    so maybe this is my problem , how can i reference it to the GAC ?
    (i tried from the reference window but i couldn't add it since it is not
a dll )
