HOWTO: Add a custom assembly to the Add References dialog of Visual Studio macros editor

Author: Carlos J. Quintero (Microsoft MVP) Applies to: Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2002
Date: February 2007   Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003
      Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Introduction

When you use the Visual Studio macros editor and right-click the "Add Reference..." context menu of the "References" node of the Project Explorer, the Add Reference dialog has a ".NET" tab with .NET assemblies to be references, but it does not have a "Browse" button or tab to select a custom assembly.

More Information

To make your custom assembly to appear in the ".NET" tab of the Add Reference dialog, you have to copy it to the following folder of Visual Studio:

  • Visual Studio .NET 2002: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies
  • Visual Studio .NET 2003: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies
  • Visual Studio 2005: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies
