Assembly generation failed -- Referenced assembly does not have a strong name

My program is one of the C# project of a Solution of which assemblies are in the same name space.

And my program references a DLL which is within the same name space.

I'm making my project to be callable from other unmanaged program like C++ or VB6.

I created strong key file using "sn -k TestKeyPair.snk".

And I added assembly like following.

[assembly: AssemblyKeyFile((@"..\Deployment\Release\TestKeyPair.snk")]

Error 76 Assembly generation failed -- Referenced assembly 'MyRefDll' does not have a strong name

Why this error occur?

Can anybody give me some advice?
