Signing

[Anonymous]

We used to sign our assemblies in the signing tab of the properties.  I am getting to old I guess because I don't even remember when or why that quit working.  I think it has something to do with the manifest file?

Anyhow, I need to start signing my assemblies again, and I have found all kinds of stuff about signing on the net, but none of it seems to work.  Does anyone have a link to a good tutorial, or care to explain how it is done now days.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Kent,

I'm not sure I understand you fully. Take a look at the video link below and tell me if that answers your question.

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the reply.   Please check your link, it goes to something about using iProperties for me. 

Basically I am just not sure what the proper method is to get our assemblies signed these days. Signing them using the checkbox in the properties tab no longer works like it used to.

Hi Kent,

Can you take a screen-shot of where you are "Signing them using the checkbox"?

This will help me understand better.

Hi Jon,

This is the way we used to sign programs. I think maybe my use of the word assemblies instead of programs has maybe confused the issue.

At first I was trying to use Signtool.exe but now I am guessing that is only for exe files.  I seem to remember something about signing in the manifest, but I can't find any documentaion on it right now.

Hi Kent,

I have never seen that dialog before, but thanks for sending.

I have no idea how you would sign the documents outside of iProperties.

Hopefully somebody else has an idea.

Thanks Jon,

That is the standard Visual Studio properties dialog.  Anyone that has made an addin dll has surely seen it.

We are not talking an inventor document, we are talking addin dll files.
