Assemblies in GAC not showed in Add Reference dialog

Situation:

I created a GeneralBiztalkHelper Dll, I placed it in the GAC and want to use the assembly later in other projects.

When I wanted to add it to the new project via Add Reference,  I didn't saw the assembly listed.

 

Solution:

The list of assemblies used in the Ad Reference  dialog isn't populated from the GAC but from the following directory

%WindowsDirectory%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\%Version%\
