First brush with the global assembly cache

The global assembly cache under WindowsXP is at c:\windows\assembly

Dragging an assembly into this folder installs it into the global assembly cache. Assembly must have a strong name.

Adding a reference to an assembly in the GAC doesn’t appear to be different than otherwise. Still have to browse to the actual assembly file. It doesn’t appear in the .NET tab’s list of assemblies. Curious.
