Re: Strong naming

> What do I need to do to get the assembly strongly named?

Any assembly that you want to put into the GAC is required to have a "Strong
Name". Here's how to do it:


In your Visual Studio .NET -> Tools program group launch a Visual Studio
..NET 2003 Command Prompt. Then do this to see the command syntax:

sn /?

To generate a Strong Name Key, do this:

sn -k MyAssemblyName.snk

Then put that file in your project directory (where your source code is)

Then open up your project's AssemblyInfo file and add this:

<Assembly:AssemblyKeyFileAttribute("MyAssemblyName.snk")>

(You may have to monkey around with the relative path of the filename inside
the attribute.)

In MSDN Library, goto the index tab and goto "strong-named assemblies"
