System.ServiceModel.dll no longer appears in Visual Studio's Add References dialog (.NET tab)

I have a brand new install of the Vista RC2 Candidate and I went looking and found that this was a problem in the past. However I am not sure the fix that was posted is the proper one as it was posted sometime back in February.

System.ServiceModel.dll no longer appears in Visual Studio's Add References dialog (.NET tab).

Does anyone know why this behavior occurs, and what can be done about it

Thanks,

Okay the only way that I could get the reference to go in was to open the Project file in notepad and hand jam it in thusly.

If I have to do this everytime it kind of defeats the purpose of having an IDE.

Any other ideas

Thanks,

John

John,

Have a look at this: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/wkze6zky.aspx.

Make sure the .Net 3.0 reference assemblies directory is specified in the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v2.0.50727\AssemblyFoldersEx] key.

HTH,

Dave

FYI, I have moved this thread to .Net Framework Setup forum.

The .NET Framework 3.0 has a developer plugin, which might help developing .NET Framework 3.0 applications in Visual Studio 2005.

Please let me know if this does/does not work for you.

"The .NET Framework 3.0 has a developer plugin" .... now is that VS2005 has a plugin which helps develop nfx3 apps or the plugin comes with the framework

Either way, do you have a link to this. Out of the box on vista RC2, various fx3 components like Systen.ServiceModel.dll do not show up in the Add Reference Dialog.

Running VS 2005 Standard Edition. I had to download Visual Studio 2005 extensions for Visual Studio 2005 extensions for .NET Framework 3.0 (Windows Workflow Foundation)

You can find it here.
