AssemblyKeyFile

Hi, how do you specify "RELATIVE" path for ASP.NET apps? (webapp.snk resides in same directory of the application dll - ie. bin\) This keeps giving me error message saying it can't find the snk file... Thanks in advance. Norman Fung

Use the MapPathServer command - it will give you the root directory (above \bin).

Hi Norman, You can find the answer in the AssemblyInfo.cs file which should be included in your web project. Basically, you use either the AssemblyKeyFileAttribute or the AL.exe tool to sign your assembly with a strong name. Here, you want to use the AssemblyKeyFileAttribute with a relative path, so you would specify this attribute as below:

[assembly: AssemblyKeyFile(@"..\\..\\Webapp.snk")]

then you need to copy the key file Webapp.sink to the project directory which is specified as

%HOMEPATH%\VSWebCache\<Machine Name>\< Project Directory>\obj\<Configuration>

For example with my machine:

C:\Documents and Settings\minhphan.SILKROAD\VSWebCache\CONGMINH\WebApplication1\obj
