How? open Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt (%comspec% /k C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall.bat x86) and then write there: sn -k filename.snk 2) Compile the DLL with the snk file. a. copy near the DLL file. b. Add attribute via the Properties.(at the Assemblies Properties write: [assembly: AssemblyKeyFileAttribute(@..\..\filename.snk)] 3) Compile the DLL by dragging it to the GAC. (C:\WINDOWS\assembly) 4) For using the DLL: a. Reference from the project to the DLL. b. change the property Copy local – true to false. and now the dll locate at the GAC (Global Assembly Cache) as assembly so the EXE file may be stand alone in every folder.
