I have a prebuilt dll assembly that I am trying to use. It is a winforms library and when I reference it I can use it in the designer/code without error. When I run it I get:

Assembly generation failed — Referenced assembly ‘YARTE’ does not have a strong name

I decided to do the ildasm => ilasm round trip but I keep getting this error

C:\...\bin>ilasm /dll /key=mykey.snk YARTE.dll

Microsoft (R) .NET Framework IL Assembler.  Version 4.0.30319.17929
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
Assembling 'YARTE.dll'  to DLL --> 'YARTE.dll'
Source file is ANSI

YARTE.dll(1) : error : syntax error at token 'MZ' in: ZÉ

I’m not finding much help elsewhere but I don’t think this is a rare problem.

    Why are you trying to compile the yarte DLL file? ilasm should take an IL source file.

    It’s not really a round trip if you ignore the output of ildasm 🙂
