Okay, this is silly because I keep forgetting the exact syntax, but this is incredibly useful whenever writing any code for SharePoint. So I'm putting this on my blog for future copy paste pleasure - Just add the following to PostBuild Events - "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\gacutil.exe" /i $(TargetPath) By doing so, everytime you build your class library, it will automatically be added to the GAC for you. One less thing to worry about - bak2wurk!

Only problem is gacutil requires local admin, so may need to use runas if you develop as a normal user.

Hey Kent -
Did you fall for those marketing folks who don't really develop for a living themselves, but keep asking you to develop as a limited user on Vista? ;-)

No, I fell to some malware at one point and made the decision myself. If I listened to the marketers then - you're right - I *would* be using Vista, not XP :) Actually, I do use Vista on one machine, but it's a work laptop.
PS. Never had any issues except the occasional one like with gacutil when developing as normal user. Just have to switch to admin to install stuff.

I also like to add to my prebuild the GAC uninstall event, which is the same as you mentioned, except with /u parameter instead. This ensures that the older version of your assembly is definitely removed before you install the newer version
