Unable to emit assembly

Question

I have created a visual basic class library named dataLibrary and have added it as a reference in a visual studio tools for application program in infopath 2007, and imported it.

Now when I try using a class defined in the library, I get the following error: "Unable to emit assembly: Referenced assembly 'dataLibrary' does not have a strong name"

Can somebody help me out here, I've never seen anything like this before.

Answer 1

The issue you are likely encountering is that your class library has not been signed with a strong name, however your assembly IS signed.

Resolution: Either don't sign your assembly and leave the class library unsigned or sign both the assembly and class library.

Why would I see "Unable to emit assembly: Referenced assembly ... does not have a strong name" when trying to add a reference?
