I am trying to compile my project with
'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data' and I am getting the error
message 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data' does not have a strong
name. Where can I find info on solving this? Is there a specific reason why
they didn't sign this?

Thanks
 
Hi Chris,

"They" (Microsoft) can't sign it. Only the person compiling the code can
sign it... and that's you. Also, it doesn't need to be signed unless a
signed component is calling it. Since you added this constraint, it is up
to you to sign the code.

It's pretty simple, really. Create the SNK file using the SN utility:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ide/html/cpconAssigningAssemblyStrongName.asp

Then name the SNK file in the project attributes
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...lectionAssemblyKeyFileAttributeClassTopic.asp

Good luck,

That's actually a FAQ.
You can get the info you need at http://channel9.msdn.com/wiki/default.aspx/Channel9.EnterpriseLibraryFAQ
or in EntLib's message board at http://www.gotdotnet.com/codegaller....aspx?id=295a464a-6072-4e25-94e2-91be63527327

Hi,
I tried doing that but I get the error Cyptrographic failure while singning
assembly....error reading key file mykey.snk --The system cannot find the
file specified.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
 
Hi,
Do I need to sign all the assemblies or just the data? Also do I have to
copy them to the /bin folder after they are signed? I only need to use the
data.dll.

Thanks
