I have a C# project that uses a third-party library which depends on old version DevExpress. There is a bug in a dll(DevExpress.Utils.v9.2.dll) of this version DevExpress. I use .NET Reflector and Reflexil to patch the dll and use the patched dll replace the old one. Then when I rebuild solution, Visual Studio shows me error:
Error CS0012 The type 'XtraForm' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'DevExpress.Utils.v9.2, Version=9.2.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b88d1754d700e49a'.
It seems original dll is signed that causes the problem. I have tried removing strong name but it does not work. How to resolve?
The problem is that other assemblies reference the signed DevExpress.Utils.v9.2.dll. After patching, the dll is unsinged so it does not work. I solve the problem myself by adding referencing assemblies to update and removing strong name and updating referencing assemblies using Strong Name Remover bundled with Reflexil.
