AssemblyInfo | Relative path not working

Hi,

I need to strong name my application and thus have to specify the sn key
path in the <Assembly: AssemblyKeyFile ("strongNameKey .snk")> parameter.

Observations:

If I specify the hardcoded absolute path, things work absolutely fine.
However if I try and specify a relative path, things go askew and I end up
with Build errors stating that the sn key file cannot be found. On googling,
I found pages where it says that the relative paths are just said, not
supported in VB.Net.
Also, I tried "../abc/xyz.snk" as well as "..//abc//xyz.snk".

Requirement:

Need to get rid of the absolute path and keep the sn key at only 1 place in
my solution (consisting of 17 projects).

Any pointers are gladly appreciated.

Cheers!
Nick

Hi there, Does anyone know what path the AssemblyKeyFile attribute is relative to? For example I currently have mine set to <Assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("..\NicksKey.snk")> Sometimes this works, and sometimes I need to change it to <Assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("..\..\NicksKey.snk")>

I'm confused about paths. I have a functionn that uses the mappath method, which I think requires a virtual path (is that the same as a relative path?). But this doesn't always work as the path can take the form of the following: 1. /directory/images/xyz.gif (works fine) 2. http://localhost:1234/www.mytestwebsite.com/directory/images/xyz.gif (doesn't work) 3. http:///www.someremotesite.com/directory/images/abc.gif (doesn't work)

Aside from the deaths of a few extra electrons to spell out the whole root relative path, is there any down side? It seems to me that theoretically it shouldn't make any difference, and it would make it much easier to slap modualar blocks of markup into page frameworks, which may change and so forth. And the few extra bytes, which even for a fairly large site would not amount to as many bytes as are in a fairly small low-res image, should...

hello, I'm running Python 2.5 and want my programs to run at least under Windows and Linux (preferable also Mac). So I guess I should always use relative paths. From most modules I can call a global function, that should import a dictionary from path deeper than the module itself. The import is done in the global function. In that global function, I get the modules path by

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
