How to display an assembly in the "Add Reference" dialog box

When you are developing a class library, you may want Visual Studio .NET to list your library in the Add Reference dialog box on the .NETtab without the user having to browse for it.

This issue is not resolved if you install your assembly to the global assembly cache, because the Add Reference dialog box is path-based and does not enumerate the components from the global assembly cache.

To display your assembly in the Add Reference dialog box, you can add a registry key, such as the following, which points to the location of the assembly
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders\MyAssemblies]@="C:\\MyAssemblies"
where MyAssemblies is the name of the folder in which the assemblies reside.

NOTE: You can create the this registry entry under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive. This will change the setting for all of the users on the system. If you create this registry entry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, this entry will affect the setting for only the current user.

Restart Visual Studio .NET after you have added the key.

SBO - Internal Error (-5002) Occured in Inventory Transfer

this is something that not well documented in SBO, it took me several hours to look at Google and can't find anything about it. Thank God friend of mine got answer for this one.So the Sympton is something like this, u need to make Inventory Transfer for Batch Item and Serial Item in one single Transaction so the Transaction is the combination of it. ex in detail lines: 1. Serial Item 2. Batch Item 3. Batch Item 4. Batch Item 5. Serial Item 6. Serial Item . When u reach this code oStockTransfer.Add it will return an error "Internal Error (-5002) Occured". This is because ur details is not in order, meaning u need to order the line with combination of Batch first then Serial or Serial first then Batch so be careful with this thing :D see u
