Not sure if many of you have tried this but I've created a component using Google's .net and referenced one of their .dlls. I am using a classic .asp as my interface to upload a document to the Google Drive and in order for the classic .asp to talk to a .Net 4.0 component, a strong name has to be generated in which I did for the main component, but for some reason it keep giving me the error

"Error 1 Assembly generation failed -- Referenced assembly 'Google.Apis' does not have a strong name"

So I created a .snk for Google.Apis and still getting the same error, not sure what else to do

please help

Thanks

  • thanks for the quick response Matt, but most of the answers on the link you've provided was to disable the "sign the assembly". I am using Visual Studio 2010 and in order for my asp-classic interface to talk to this .Net 4.0 component is to have the snk – user3656907 May 20 '14 at 14:09

You will need create various strong names per dll and assign the strong name and sign in your .dll file.

  • I did that too... I've created strong name for the main component as well as for Google.Apis and yet, every time I would re-build the component, I get the same error – user3656907 May 20 '14 at 14:31
  • Mmmm, see this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms247123%28v=vs.80%29.aspx – Chiro300 May 20 '14 at 14:42
  • yeah, that's what I've used to create strong name for this third party dll and yet my visual studio 2010 keeps complaining about "Assembly generation failed — Referenced assembly 'Google.Apis' does not have a strong name".. not sure what am I missing – user3656907 May 20 '14 at 14:45
  • although, under the Google.Apis.dll properties, the section for Strong name is grayed out and has a value of "False". – user3656907 May 20 '14 at 14:47
  • its a package that can be downloaded from google in order for me to integrate my app to their Google Drive – user3656907 May 20 '14 at 14:58
  • Mmmm It is strange, you should be able to sign the google api, one question, your projects have a Strong Names? All projects needed a Strong name and sign. – Chiro300 May 20 '14 at 15:23
  • yes, my project alone does have a strong name and since I referenced the Google.Apis.dll, for some reason visual studio is asking for their string name as well... so I've created Google.Apis.snk and still complaining with the same error – user3656907 May 20 '14 at 15:30
  • Try add strong names in all projects. – Chiro300 May 20 '14 at 15:37
  • Did you ever figure this out? I'm wanting to pull data from Google Drive Sheets into my Classic ASP application. – ScotterMonkey Dec 12 '14 at 03:21
