What order should these be done in? I'm doing this from the command prompt for a .Net app. I was able to do just strong name and code signing successfully, but when I tried all three, it doesn't look like it worked (==> Vista still trying to run the app with elevated privileges resulting in a prompt, though I set the requestedexecution...
Ok, so i know how to strong name an assembly and regasm it, so I can access it from a an ASP page. By strong naming it, it can be placed in the GAC and thus be easily accessible from an ASP page. Is it possible to somehow register the assembly without signing it with a strong name and still be able, somehow to access it from the ASP pa...

Hi, One of my colleague is very keen on signing assemblies. He literally tries to sign anything, even when we use assemblies from Microsoft that are not signed he will take the source code , sign it and then ask other developers to use his copy instead. I can understand the basic idea behind signing an assembly: to ensure a particular ...
Ok, I must be dumb cause I've already read this: http://www.csharp411.com/net-assembly-faq-part-3-strong-names-and-signing/ And I still don't get it... Let's say I open my project's properties and go to the "Signing" tab, then I check "Sign the assembly" and generate a new assembly with a password. A strong name key file with the .pfx ...
I have a product which has around 10+ assemblies. We used to ship it without strongly naming the assemblies. But after reading about strong naming, I guess it is a wise idea to strong name assemblies. Just wanted to know is that a best practice to strong name all assemblies used by a program? Any thoughts? ...
I have my signed assemblies here, in one of them I have a picture in the resources. The other one is granted to use it as it's own, so my other assembly can reference the picture, and everything works fine. Only if it wouldn't be for the Form Designer in VS2008. It does not see the Image. ( It might be ok, since it's linked at compile...
I have a server executable that talks to Active Directory to retrieve user information. In addition to AD, this exe allows customers to write their own plugins to talk to custom user directories. This executable is strongly named. Is the following a true statement: In order for a strongly named assembly to load another assembly, ...
O.k, this is really irritating, I had noticed previously that the code generated by WPF for loading XAML resources did not appear to use strong names and therefore may be problematic for scenarios where you need to support side by side versions of WPF assemblies. This has turned out to be the case, and it's now causing me problems - I h...
I purchased an authenticode certificate from a well known provider. Now I want to strong name an assembly and later on digitally sign it. This is what I've done so far: Extracted public key from pfx by running sn.exe -p keypair.pfx key.snk Checked both "Sign the assembly" and "Delay sign only" checkboxes on project properties signing...
Problem The basic problem is I want to debug some 3rd party code to see how it works so I can replace part of it. Is there anyway to redirect the binding so that it will not use the dll in the GAC but instead the copy I compiled instead (which will be either unsigned or have a different public key). Details The specific item in que...
I'm developing an application with plugins. I have a separate API assembly with all the API interfaces. The main application dynamically loads the plugins from dlls: object pi = Assembly.LoadFrom(plugin.AssemblyPath) .CreateInstance(plugin.ClassName); and then i'm casting it to the actual plugin type: IPlugin pluginIns...

I have a project and I want to strong name the executable file. Using command-line compiling works well: csc ... /keyfile:... But I would like the IDE to do this, so I find this: in project property's `Signing' tab, there is a 'Sign the assembly' option. I tick it and direct to my key-pair file. After I lauch the debug, a FileNotFo...
I want to strong name a managed application which references many managed assemblies and ActiveX and COM components (written in C++) via interop. And because a strongly named assembly cannot reference weakly named assemblies, could you please tell me what problems that I should be prepared for, what you have run into, especially when de...
