The most recent release of the SecLib returns the error
"Error 3 'HMAC' is an ambiguous reference between 'System.Security.Cryptography.HMAC' and 'Org.Mentalis.Security.Cryptography.HMAC' seclib\Security\Ssl\Tls1\ExpansionDeriveBytes.cs 118 11 Security Library"
Is it just because I am using VS8? If so, do I need to install 7 or 7.1 to sort this? |

It means that you have a the following two using statements in your code:
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using Org.Mentalis.Security.Cryptography;
And somewhere in you're code you instantiate a HMAC instance. This causes problems because the HMAC class is defined in both namespaces (and hence a nameclash occurs). Remove one of the two using statements, or use a full qualifier for the HMAC class. |

You can use Org.Mentalis.Security.Cryptography.HMAC( ) whereever a new HMAC( ) or a variable of type HMAC is defined. This got rid of the ambiguity of using HMAC. |
