Interop.DAO error message

Hi,

Have a look at this.

http://geekswithblogs.net/mchroman/archive/2005/08/18/50576.aspx
You need to run the command on the COM type library (i.e. Test.dll), not the .NET interop library.

PAQ: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21607129/Unable-to-emit-assembly-Referenced-assembly-'Interop-Test'-does-not-have-a-strong-name.html

Hope this helps

Hi DarrenD

Thanks for helping me with this.

What DLL file do i do this with ?
Can you give me example for this. Thanks

Hi,

As stated above you need to run the command on the COM type library (i.e. Test.dll), not the .NET interop library.

I haven't done this myself before I just did a search on EE and found a PAQ.

Hope this helps.

Just read through this from start to finish

hi!

tryed your link, and did what they say there.
Mustent i add this dll-file to my project ?

thanks for helping me out here

Once you've done the strong naming to the DLL then you can probably just add a reference to it again and this time it should work.

There will still be an interop.yourdll.dll.

Unfortunately as I said I haven't done this before so I can only go on what I've read as well.

Let me know how you get on.

Hi!

Okey, but can't find the DLL file i just created
???

I Called it Interop.DAO.dll

Any ide ?

Can you do a search for it?

With the advent of .net, we are still forced to deal with com.  Unfortunately, when you interop a file in .net, the new interop assembly does not get strong named.  It is a good practice to strong name that interop assembly.  Here is how.

1.  In your Path, add a path to the sdk/bin folder( in the Visual Studio .NET 2003 folder).
2.  Go to a command prompt
3.  Create a key by using the sn.exe (sn -k KEYFILENAME.SNK) -> Press Enter
4.. Type in tlbimp COMDLLNAME /keyfile:YOURKEYFILE.snk /out:NEWDLL.dll ->Press Enter
5.  Type exit -> Press Enter

Did you perform these steps and no DLL was created? Seems wierd...

Don't call it interop.yourdll.dll.

If your COM Dll is called TEMP.DLL

Then

tlbimp TEMP.DLL /keyfile:YOURKEYFILE.snk /out:TEMP1.DLL

Then do a search for TEMP1.DLL and let me know what you get. if anything....

Hi!

Yes, but when i trye this in a command promtt window. I can see what is going on
Here is what the command say:
C:\tlbimp Interop /keyfile:KEYFILENAME2.SNK /out:Interop.DAO.dll
Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Type Library to Assembly Converter 2.0.50727.42
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

TlbImp : error TI0000 : Unable to locate input type library: 'Interopp'

?????

Hi Again!

Find out that when i copied a file (library file) to example: D:\wbemdisp.tlb
And use this like this:

C:\tlbimp D:\wbemdisp.tlb  /keyfile:KEYFILENAME2.SNK /out:Interop.DAO.dll
All WORKS FINE....

But witch tlb-file must i use ? Interop.DAO ?????
