Using custom assembly & gacutil & sn
Hello experts, I need some help please. Yesterday I get the answer that I had to use an assembly if I would like to use a function as global. Right now Im very desperate because my VS didnt recognize my DLL. I get the error: "Could not load file or assembly .....The system cannot find the file specified." After red the threads I tried to use gacutil.exe to add my assembly to the cache. This action fails with the error: Failure adding Assembly to cache. Attempt to install an assembly without a strong name. After that I tried to build a strong name through the follow execute: Sn Vr ClassLibrary.dll. This action fails too. I get the follow Error description: dll does not represent a strongly named assembly. What made me wrong? Is there an easier workaround? Have someone a good Idea could help me? Hope to hear you soon. Best regards, Alex

Hey Eric, Thanks a lot for the link!!! After about 5 hours Ive got the solution: I build the assembly and the strong name key at the VS. After that copying the dll-file into gac and framework folder. Right now there areno moreproblems. Thanks a lot! p.s. is there no better workaround?
