Signing ASP .NET DLL

[Hayato Iriumi]

I've been trying to use sn utility to sign my ASP .NET DLL, but no luck.
Well that's because ASP .NET gets compiled in a weird place like
C:\Documents and Settings\ProfileName\VSWebCache\MachineName

Does anyone know how I can accomplish signing ASP .NET DLL from VS .NET IDE?
I'm using VB .NET by the way, so Build Event is not an option....

Just use the sn.exe utility to create a KeyFile (*.snk), and refer to the
KeyFile in your AssemblyInfo file. Example:

[assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("c:\\myKey.snk")]

Yeah, full path would work, but I'm trying to do it using relative path
within VS .NET. Any idea?

It doesn't matter. The keyfile will not be included in the end product. It
is simply used when compiling to create the strong name in the asembly.

I know how things work, and the only thing I'm trying to figure out is
to have key file in VS .NET and sign Web app DLL.
