How can I reference TeamFoundation assemblies in my project?

I need to reference Team Foundation assemblies in my project but I cannot.

When looking for Microsoft.TeamFoundation.* in the GAC I cannot find any assemblies. Then I browse to C:\windows\assembly and here I find the assemblies that I need. When I select all or one of the assemblies to create a reference nothing happens. The dialog 'blinks' and returns focus to the top of the list. The reference is not created?! I have tried this with other assemblies in this directory and I cannot make a reference to any of them.

I restarted VS and tried again. 开发者_Python百科No luck. So how do I reference these Dlls? I have TFS installed on this machine.

Thanks..

These assemblies are installed for x64 at
- %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ReferenceAssemblies\v2.0
- %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies

and for x86 at
- %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ReferenceAssemblies\v2.0
- %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies

Our TFS guy gave us a bunch of registry hacks to make the assembly visible in Visual Studio via this resource:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/buckh/archive/2006/01/12/how-to-add-the-team-foundation-assemblies-to-the-net-tab-in-the-vs-add-reference-dialog.aspx

He had to hand-massage the version numbers, as we were using 2008 (the resource is for 2005).

I don't like it, being a registry hack, so I always used Browse... references to the libraries as described by @Ewald. The assembly loader is smart enough to check the GAC in spite of my local reference. I would copy the assemblies into a folder within my project so as to avoid external dependencies to relative paths far from my source control tree.

It seems that Microsoft.TeamFoundation assemblies work only when the target platform is set to x86.

Setting the target platform of my project to x86 resolved the issue.
