[Mono-devel-list] [PATCH] Strongname signature verification

[Sébastien Pouliot]

Hello Chris,

Possibly. Right now if you want to use Mono.* assemblies on the MS runtime
you must turn off signature verification on them.
You can do this by executing (ms version) of sn.exe

sn -Vr Mono.Data.SqliteClient,0738eb9f132ed756

where 0738eb9f132ed756 is the public key token (which can be found using
sn -Tp Mono.Data.SqliteClient.dll).

You can replace Mono.Data.SqliteClient by * to skip verification for all
assemblies containing the Mono public key.

hi,

is this why I could not reference Mono.Data.SqliteClient.dll in a VB.NET
project?
