Assembly generation failed -- Referenced assembly does not have a strong name

Question

I'm getting this error message on compile a .NET solution(3.5) where there is a Class library which is developmed using .NET 1.1.
"Assembly generation failed -- Referenced assembly does not have a strong name"

it uses System.Web.Mail library whic is absolute (warning message).

But this class library individually compiles correctly

Can someone please advice me.

Thx

Try to sign your assembly, that should help.
