I am working on a project that was created in 1.x. I need to modify the csla itself. When I open the solution it gives error:

Error reading key file c:\mykey.snk.

Dependancy dataportal can not be found.

I don't see this file within the project download. Where do I get it, as I assume this project must be signed.

thanks

In version 1.x I didn't ship a key file as part of the solution - that's a best practice, though it turned out to be such a PITA that I am shipping a key file as part of the 2.x and 3.x solutions even though it is a bad idea.

So your organization must have its own key file - or some previous developer created one maybe?

There are instructions in the Business Objects book on how to create and use a key file if you can't find the one that was used in your organization in the past.

I went ahead and generated my own key.

Thanks
