<div dir="ltr">Hi Andy,<br><br>Thanks so much for your response. <div><br></div><div>The issue turned out to be something fundamental... my DLL was built as "x64" and not as "Any CPU" (even though I was explicitly using 64-bit ironpython).

<div>Is it Intellisense in Python Tools for Visual Studio you are
referring to?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If so my experience is that to obtain Intellisense you don’t need your DLLs
in the GAC.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>To see my custom DLL in my project I do four things.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1) Add the DLL or EXE Assemblies to References in your IronPython project
(I’m not sure if this is essential)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2) Add the folder where the Assemblies are located to Search Paths in your
IronPython project. This does seem to be essential.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3) Add “clr.AddReference(MyDllName”) to your code where the DLL path is in
sys.path</div>
<div> </div>
<div>4)Add “import ANamespaceInMyDll” or “from ANamespaceInMyDll import *” or
similar.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Note that the C# namespace containing the Class definitions maps to an
IronPython module.</div>
<div>You should now get Intellisense for each class in the imported
Namespaces</div>

<div dir="ltr">I am struggling to get Intellisense working with some DLLs that I
have built. I do not want the C# code to be included directly in the
project, I only want the functionality to be accessible through a pre-built DLL.
<div> </div>
<div>First, I am able to run my IronPython code successfully linking to the DLLs
by adding where they exist to my search path and then using
clr.AddReference()</div>
<div> </div>
<div>However, using that method I cannot get Intellisense to work. So then
I did some searching and found multiple discussions around the DLLs needing to
be in the GAC for them to be accessible by Intellisense.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Therefore I signed my DLLs (making them strong typed) and added them to the
GAC using gacutil.exe. I can verify this by listing the installed
modules:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div>$ gacutil.exe -l | grep Utils</div>
<div> Utils, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=6c2b3719154e5544, processorArchitecture=AMD64</div></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Despite doing that, it is not accessible by the GAC. Additionally, I
assumed that I could now drop my search path and the modules would be found
using clr.AddReference() in the GAC instead. However, once I drop the
search path it does not work again.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Could somebody point me in the right direction, here? I'm feeling
lost.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks much!</div>
