I am adding this "LibUsbDotNet".dll in my project but Error is coming

Error 8 Assembly generation failed -- Referenced assembly 'LibUsbDotNet' does not have a strong name.

We are using 2 namespaces:

Our namespace is sBus and I am trying Signing there is checkbox Sign the assembly and I selected snk file there and 1 more "LibUsbDotNet" this has an only .dll file, not project

This is happening because the LibUsbDotNet is not strongly named.

Strong naming of assmelby is done to avoid tampering of the assemblies. You can read more about it at this documentation link.

Now, if that is not your project and somebody else's project, then you have three options:

  • You can check if any strong named version of the same DLL or any other package which provides same functionality is available and refer that
  • You can check the tools on git hub which help in strong naming the .DLL files
  • Last option is to avoid strong name checking for this particular DLL.
