Whenever we want our assembly to install in GAC then it is must to have a strong name. For strong naming assembly we have to create a public key.
To generate the .snk
file.
To create a strong name key file
- Developers command prompt for VS2015 (with administrator Access)
- At the command prompt, type cd C:\Directory_Name and press ENTER.
- At the command prompt, type sn -k KeyFileName.snk, and then press ENTER.
once the keyFileName.snk is created at specified directory then give refernce in your project . give AssemblyKeyFileAttribute
attribute the path to snk
file to generate the key when we build our class library.
Properties -> AssemblyInfo.cs
[assembly: AssemblyKeyFile(@"c:\Directory_Name\KeyFileName.snk")]
Thi will create a strong name assembly after build. After creating your strong name assembly you can then install it in GAC
Happy Coding :)
