Re: How to register .NET Dlls

In order to sign your assemly you can use assembly attributes, usually
defined in AssemblyInfo.cs.
The attributes will look like

[assembly: AssemblyKeyFile(@"C:\Snk\MyCustAssembly.snk")]
[assembly: AssemblyKeyName("MyCustAssembly")]

After build your assembly will be "signed" and can be placed in the GAC
