Creating a Strongly Named Assembly
To strongly name an assembly by using Visual Studio 2005, you must have a copy of the public/
private key pair file. If you don't have a key file, you can have Visual Studio generate one for
you. You can then do the following:
Open the Properties of the project.
Select the Signing tab.
Select the Sign the Assembly check box and enter the location of the key file.
When you compile, the compiler will produce a strongly named assembly. The inputs and
output of the compiler are illustrated in Figure 10-15.
