Hi,
I have a private assembly from a third party vendor which is not signed
with a strong name and for which i dont have the source code. So can I:
a. access that assembly from a shared assembly(may be by using
reflection)?
b. Can i somehow assign a strong name to that assembly without having
its code?
Suggestions eagerly solicited..

Yes, you can access that assembly and even load it, if you will provide valid path to it.

IMO it will be a hack and security hole, but it is possible :8-)
