Is it possible to get the .dll without it being strongly named? My project has .dll's that for various reasons we are unable to strongly name. Please let me know if this is possible.

Thanks,
Wyatt

Hi Wyatt,

I don't think your question is clear enough. What do you mean by "Is it possible to get the .dll without it being strongly named?"

Are you trying to strong name your assembly by specifying the AssemblyKeyFileAttribute in the AssemblyInfo.vb file? Do you find that you can't do this because referenced types / dlls are not strong named?

If your question is "Can I still strong name my assembly without strong naming the referenced assemblies in the project?", then I think the answer is No unfortunately!

Hi Wyatt.

You can develop add-in without it being strongly named. You just need not to include C++ shim and .snk file in your add-in project.
