Hi Eric,

Are you experiencing any of that bad weather I'm hearing about on the East Coast??

As far as adding you DLL to the .NET Components list, to display your assembly in the Add Reference dialog box, you can add a registry key, such as the following, which points to the location of the assembly
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders\MyAssemblies]@="C:\\MyAssemblies"

where MyAssemblies is the name of the folder in which the assemblies reside.

NOTE: You can create the this registry entry under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive. This will change the setting for all of the users on the system. If you create this registry entry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, this entry will affect the setting for only the current user.

Restart Visual Studio .NET after you have added the key.

I have a .Net control that I created that I want my colleagues to use. How can I get my control to show up in the .Net component list instead of them having to browse for the DLL all the time? Is there a certain way to make the deployment project or is this something that cannot be done? I thank you all for your time and assistance.
