convert a weakly named assembly to a strongly named

[Guest]

Hi,
I have one weakly named(i.e. not strong named) assembly/xyz.dll. And other
strong named assemblies/.dll. I have found that I can't use weakly named
assembly with strong named assembly.

How can I convert weekly named assembly to strong named assembly. Or other
possible way.

One more question: If I create assembly for C# with strong name. Can some
one else, who is not using strong name, will be able to use it in his C#
application without specifiying my strong name key.

Thank you.

If it's an assembly you've created yourself (i.e. you have the source
code) you can simply recompile it with the AssemblyKeyFile/Name
attribute present.

No, I don't have the source code. I have only .dll file. Any idea, How can I
convert to weakly named xyz.dll to strong named xyz.dll.

Thank you for your time.

No, I don't have the source code. I have only .dll file.

Have you tried contacting the vendor and ask if they can provide a
strongly named assembly?
