You can check to see if it is in the gac by using gacutil (from the
framework directory \windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\version). Gacutil
-l will list all items in the gac (there are lots, so dump it to a
file); use -I to install assemblies.



Assemblies don't have to reside in the gac, so you could just copy the
assembly to the application directory (or more accurately, the directory
with the binary in). You only need an item in the gac if it is to be
shared across applications.



The problem here might be something to do with version bindings. Again,
I'm not a winforms developer so may be talking rubbish (happens
frequently), but there may be a problem if you're developing in v2 and
the assembly you need is v1. I'm not sure how all that hangs together,
but it may give you pointer. I'll ask one of my winform developer pals.

Hi Gary,

Yes it can do serial ports as that's what I am doing, a am also
new to this so not sure I can help out yet as I am still having problem
building my app.

It wont' install as it complains about mysql.data not being in the GAC.
Which I'm sure it is as I have just reinstalled it and tick the box for
the GAC. Also now my app wont run with F5 either :-(

Regards,

Paul
