Hi, I'm running 4.2 RC2 and I'm having some trouble building the domain:

Here is my code:

var config = new DomainConfiguration("sqlserver", ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Data.Providers.ConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
            config.UpgradeMode = Xtensive.Storage.DomainUpgradeMode.Validate;
            config.Types.Register(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(), _entitiesNamespace);
            _domain = Domain.Build(config);

And I get:

System.IO.FileLoadException occurred
  Message="A strongly-named assembly is required. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131044)"
  Source="mscorlib"
  StackTrace:

  InnerException:

Does this mean I need to strong name my assembly to use DataObjects.NET? That's not really an option for me.

Also, the way I have DO.NET running on the project:

<UsePostSharp>true</UsePostSharp>
    <DontImportPostSharp>true</DontImportPostSharp>
    <DataObjectsDotNetPath>$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\..\ReferenceAssemblies\DataObjects.Net</DataObjectsDotNetPath>
.
.
.
  <Import Project="$(DataObjectsDotNetPath)\Common\DataObjects.Net.targets" />

and the references...

PostSharp is not installed separately.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Never mind...I got it. My exe had to have the same persistent attribute and proj additions as my data assembly. thanks
