Distributing signed assemblies

stormogulen

Hello,

Just a quick question concerning signed assemblies:

I have developed an application which uses a number of signed
assemblies. Now I would like to distribute the source code (ie. the
entire project) of the application as an example, but I do not want
others to abuse the signed assemlies (preferably not even use them, but
I'm guessing that is not possible).

How can I do that ?

Best regards,
Bjarne

Don't really understand.

If you don't want the assemblies to be used, don't distribute either the
source or the binaries.

If you don't want them to be abused (presumably you mean "changed") then
don't distribute the source.

Perhaps I've misunderstood what you're after.
