strong name

[moabiker31]

I'm using vb 2005. I have an assembly, called myAssembly, that references a 3rd party tool to handle compressing/uncompressing files. I added the reference of the dll to the assembly and added it to the Toolbox. Now Interop.Abalezip.dll and AxInterop.Abalezip.dll are referenced in MyAssembly.

MyAssembly needs to be strong named so I click on the Signing tab and create a strong name called MyAssembly.snk.

When the app is run that uses MyAssembly, it returns an error not able to find the AxInterop.abalezip. I think AbaleZip needs to be strong named somehow but unsure how to do that. I've done some research and have come across sn.exe, aximp.exe, tlbimp.exe, ildasm.exe commands but I'm not sure which one(s) fit my situation. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

might be helpful, even though it's from the VB6 forum. It goes into internals about how a zip file is made, and those internals should be the same whether you're using .Net or not.
