I've built an Assembly to wrap around a COM component. However, I need to
add it to the GAC.

Upon trying to do that, I'm trying to give the assembly a strong name, which
fails because the com interop generated assembly it uses doesn't have a
strong name :?

Can I sign the interop assembly with some cmd-prompt tool ? or, is there
another way to achieve what i want ?

Cheers,

You can sign assemblies with the sn.exe command-line .NET utility.

Under VS.Net 2003, open the property pages of the project. In the
General tab there is wrapper key filename. Put there the path to your
keyfile. Then, when you add a reference, the IDE will create a signed
wrapper.

Sunny, thank you very much for the reply. I would've used the properties
page for ever without ever noticing that :] it worked like a charm, thanks.
