Tlbimp.exe switches

[Robert Scheer]

Hi.

When using the tlbimp.exe utility, what are the differences (if any)
between the /keyfile: and /keycontainer: switches? Accordingly to the
documentation both of them can be used to sign an assembly but one
receives a 'filename' and the other receives a 'containername'

Thanks,
Robert Scheer

A key container is a virtual file (I suppose you can call it that) managed
by the cryptographic provider. A key file is a simple .snk file in your hard
drive. They are both equivalent in most cases. In fact, in order to use a
key container you must first install a key-pair into it.
