[Ironpython-users] struggling with Intellisense and GAC

[George Nychis]

I was able to solve accessing the DLL directly in the GAC by more
explicitly specifying it:

    clr.AddReference("Utils, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=6c2b3719154e5544")

But that did not fix intellisense.
