Hi Nick,

If your assembly has been strong-named and put in GAC, you can always
reference it via its Full qualified assembly name(with Name, Version,
Culture and Public Key Token). e.g.

System.data, version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089

Here is the MSDN reference about Assembly Name:

#Assembly Names
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k8xx4k69(VS.71).aspx

BTW, for most .net configuration section that require you put type info, if
you do not put Full assembly name, it will treat it like a normal
un-strong-named assembly.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

Note: The MSDN Managed Newsgroup support offering is for non-urgent issues
where an initial response

from the community or a Microsoft Support
Engineer within 1 business day is acceptable. Please note that each follow
up response may take

approximately 2 business days as the support
professional working with you may need further investigation to reach the
most efficient resolution.

The offering is not appropriate for situations
that require urgent, real-time or phone-based interactions or complex
project analysis and dump

analysis issues. Issues of this nature are best handled working with a
dedicated Microsoft Support

Engineer by contacting Microsoft Customer Support Services (CSS) at
