How do I strong name a C++ assembly in VS2008?

Question

I have no experience developing C++ on Windows, but I am a C# developer.

I have a wrapper around some native DLLs that is written in C++. (A LGPL project)). I was to use this from a strong named assembly.

How do I set up the strong naming of the C++ assembly? There is no 'Signing' properties tab available as there is in C# projects.

I imagine that I need to edit the vcproj file and put a reference to the key file, something like

 /KEYFILE:"sgKey.snk" 

that I found at this site: http://www.windows-tech.info/17/6a8f0ab94246fb61.php

I'm sure it will be easy once I find the right reference. Can someone point me in the right direction?

An easy question for C++ devs to get some rep points out of.

Thanks.

I found it. For some reason the first time I clicked on the project the property pages came up empty. On retry I found it in the project property page.

Configuration Propertyes|Linker|Advanced|Key File. 

And just enter the path to the snk key file.

Thanks for looking.
