Strong Name Problemswould create the DLL (reporting.dll), install it, run 'gacutil' and 'regasm' and my Access 2000 DB could see it and use it. I have recently added some new functionality, which included splitting out some classes into another DLL (sharedfunctions.dll), referenced by the original DLL. Now if I run this from a VB test app, it works fine. However, the 'gacutil' now fails claiming 'reporting.dll' needs a strong name. I've tried created an *.snk file via 'my project' for 'reporting.dll', but I get another error then within VB saying 'Error 1 Unable to emit assembly: Referenced assembly 'SharedFunctions' does not have a strong name'. Again I created an *.snk file for this DLL but the error just seems to propagate down to refernced Microsoft dll's. I'm stumped. Any ideas please. Chubbly You need to write code to point that snk file with the dll, in the AssemblyInfo file:

We may try a simple test to isolate the problem, if we create a very simple ASP.NET application on the server and display some Date and currency value, will they in correct format?

Regarding the issue, what did you mean "propagates down to the referenced Microsoft dll's". Can you tell what are the "Microsoft dlls" here? Are they also not trong named?

I am working with 2 dll's.
WARC_Subs_Reporting.dll which contains all reporting functionality and also references WARC_Standard_Functions.dll which as the name suggests contain standard functionality. This references Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.dll which is part of the 2006 Data Application Blocks from MS. If I assign a strong name to WARC_Subs_Reporting.dll I get the massage "Error 8 Unable to emit assembly: Referenced assembly 'WARC_Standard_Functions' does not have a strong name" so I then assign a strong name to WARC_Standard_Functions.dll and get the massage "Error 8 Unable to emit assembly: Referenced assembly 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data' does not have a strong name" Chubbly Show quoteHide quote "Luke Zhang [MSFT]" <lukez***@online.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:RqEPDyghGHA.2260@TK2MSFTNGXA01.phx.gbl... > Please ignore the previous message. > > Regarding the issue, what did you mean "propagates down to the referenced > Microsoft dll's".

the fact 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data' does not have a strong name. Seems rather obvious really considering it was distributed with all source code. I am now trying to assign a strong name but there seem to be a few issues here also.

The Enterprise Library is not strong named by default, if you need to use it in a strong named assembly, you need to add a key to the project and recompile it.
