Referencing DLL from GAC in Visual Studio

Long back i wrote about it http://www.killercodes.in/2010/09/how-to-reference-assemblies-in-gac.html but this requires some registry editing and generally developers don't have privileges to do that in the production system. I too face the similar issue and i found that the GAC for .Net framework resides at

"C:\Windows\assembly\"

. So the first thing is to put your DLL there. Then

• GoTo Projects --> Properties


• Click Reference Path and browse the GAC folder(for 3.5 it's "C:\Windows\assembly\")

Now remove any of the local references that can conflict with the GAC version of DLL and Buld.

Why it works beacuse during the build Visaul studio will try to resolve the references and since we have specified a reference path to the Framework 3.5 GAC folder, it will resolve the reference by taking it from the GAC folder and since the folder structure remains same across windows system there will be no errors.

although i have tested it with framework 3.5 but it will work with any other framwork also.

Logging JScript Errors to windows event log

Writing Jscript is a tough task, there were no errors if the data is well structured, but somtimes i wish to log all those information & exception in some place to review/analyse. Yes we can log all them in browser event log, but that is temprorary and will be all gone when the window is closed. Still there is something that you can do with Windows Event Logger. Here is a small script that uses activeXObject to write the log to eventviewer. Later you can view the log by running "eventvwer" in the cmd prompt.



And this is how you can call it:

 
// Calling the log to write error
EvntLog.Err("error in script");

Note: Due to inconsistent ActiveX use, it works only with InternetExplorer browser family :(
