An error may be received in Visual Studio .NET 2003 when using the IDAutomation Barcode DLL for .NET Compact Framework. The error will look similar to the following:

Assembly IDAutomationCFLinear.dll not a strongly named assembly

This error is generated because the design time version of the control is strongly named properly, but the run time version of the control is not.

Solution(s):

Upgrade to the most recent version of the IDAutomation Barcode DLL for .NET Compact Framework.

Download the current version of any IDAutomation product with an active Priority Support & Upgrade Subscription.
