If you installed v2.x, your Silverlight application must be Silverlight v4. If you installed v3.0 Pre-Release, your Silverlight application must be Silverlight v5. The .NET references are filtered by Silverlight version.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:53:23 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-silverlight-questions/silverlight-api-dll-s-not-registering-in-gac/m-p/220154#M5528 JenniferNery 2012-04-25T15:53:23Z Re: silverlight api dll's not registering in gac during api install https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-silverlight-questions/silverlight-api-dll-s-not-registering-in-gac/m-p/220155#M5529 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Thanks for replying. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I attempted to install version 2.4 of the API. I have Silverlight version 4 installed. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>It is good to know that the .NET references are filtered by Silverlight version. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>However, the API dll's are not showing up in the global assembly cache of the machine, regardless of Visual Studio. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I could probably manually add them, but I'd rather not if there's a known reason they're not registering.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:10:36 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-silverlight-questions/silverlight-api-dll-s-not-registering-in-gac/m-p/220155#M5529 JamesRafferty 2012-04-25T16:10:36Z Re: silverlight api dll's not registering in gac during api install https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-silverlight-questions/silverlight-api-dll-s-not-registering-in-gac/m-p/220156#M5530 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>None of the DLL's are supposed to be installed in the GAC in the first place, so I'm not sure why you would expect them to be there (not to mention you can't even install SL assemblies in the GAC, since this is only for .NET assemblies).</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Make sure you are creating a Silverlight 4 project to have the assemblies show up in the add references dialog (they will be listed under the extensions). If not, try and reinstall the SDK.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 26 Apr 2012 18:27:15 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-silverlight-questions/silverlight-api-dll-s-not-registering-in-gac/m-p/220156#M5530 dotMorten_esri 2012-04-26T18:27:15Z Re: silverlight api dll's not registering in gac during api install https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-silverlight-questions/silverlight-api-dll-s-not-registering-in-gac/m-p/220157#M5531 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Thanks for correcting me.
