C#,COM & Strong name file

All,

I have a C# COM+ component and have created a strong name file using the
sn.exe.
In my AssembleyInfo.c s I have added the following:

[assembly: AssemblyKeyFile ("xxxx.snk")]

My question is when I deploy the COM+ component to the production server do
I need to deploy the strong name file as well? If so where should the strong
name file go same directory as the COM+ component?

Thanks
Msuk

Msuk,

Once you compile the assembly, you do not need to distribute the strong
name file (nor should you!). You just have to deploy the assembly.

Hope this helps.

Yes,

If you look at your assembly's manifest (you can use ildasm.exe to
inspect it) you will notice that the public key for your assembly has
been inserted into the assembly's metadata.

One of the best feature of .NET metadata (compared, for example, to the
COM way of loading / referencing types) is that they are
self-consistent, i.e. all information is embedded into the metadata and
no component is created without its own metadata.

Regards.

We are currently developing our build process for an ASP.NET application. This application will consist of about 8 assemblies in total. Even though these assemblies will be deployed in a private application directory, we are would like to apply strong names to them. If possible, we would like to avoid the need to rebuild any given Assembly if code changes have not occurred. However, a problem I see with this approach has to do with the...

Hey all, I'm really going through a small hell right now - I've completely lost it :) I made a project, using two interop libraries from exchange (created them as in this msdn article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsmtps/html/writingmngsinks.asp). I set my project properties as 'Register as COM interop' to true, I can install it my project on my developement machine without a flaw. Great.

Hello: I'm trying to make sense of snk files, when to use, under what conditions to regenerate new ones,...can someone take a look if these statemes make sense? And then the final questions at the end that they first statements bring up in my mind... a) Because two developers, unbeknownst to each other, can end up releaseing different dll's with the same name, one should sign an assembly with a unique tag. right?

Dear readers, I have some problems with strong keys. What I want to do is basically this. A - create an application (f.x. strongHello.dll) with a strong key. B - import the functions of this dll into a console application (f.x StrongConsoleApp.exe) and run it if I have somehow specified the public part of the strong key and not otherwise.

Anybody use Strong Name Signing? I think this is used by default for Resource files, which is one reason perhaps I can't get my resource files to work (somehow the public key is messed up, perhaps since I've installed so many versions of Visual Studio) RL http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h4fa028b.aspx Deployment in Visual Studio
