hi all,

application details:
visual studio 2003
winfows with vb.net
crystal reports 11
No strong name for any asemblies

i am having a pretty weird problem here, my solution file has got 10
projects, out of which, 7 are asembl projects, 1 is winforms, 1 is crystal
reports and one is a webservice, the crsytal report projects is referenced by
the winforms projects.
Now i have started refering this crystal reports projects in another
assembly project and every time i compile i get this error message

Unable to emit assembly: Referenced assembly 'ScmsReports' does not have a
strong name
(fyi... scmsreports is the name of the crystal reports dll)

why is this error message happening, this dll was being reference by the
winform project all the time and never ever did i get this error message, now
when i am adding reference to this dlls from another assembly and compiling
the solution all of a sudden this error message comes up, why? please suggest.

thanks
sameer
