I have a visual studio project where I am trying to GAC the dll that is created. My problem is that when I click on the project and look at the "Assembly Deployment Target" property it is disabled (greyed out) and has no value selected. From what I understand this is what happens if you have a sandboxed solution, but this particular project is not a sandboxed solution.

Why would this happen? Is there a way that I can specify that I want it deployed to the GAC?

Are you developing on the machine where SP2010 is installed? – Amit Kumawat Nov 19 '11 at 2:24

"Assembly Deployment Target" property is disabled at a sandboxed solution, you're correct. But it's also disabled when developing a farm solution when the property "Include Assembly in Package" in the same properties window is set to False.

Can you verify this setting?
