Signing Assemblies

[Stelios]

Does anyone know how to sign an interop assembly (i.e assembly that we only
have in binary form)
Thanks all in advance

There is a tool that comes with .NET call al.exe or assembly linker. You may
be able to accomplish the job with that.

1) @ command Prompt in the folder where the dll is, create a key pair (keep
this for further use) if you don't already have one as below (MyName should
be replaced with whatever name you wish to call this key pair)

sn -k MyName.snk'

2) this adds the signature to the assembly which is created at the same
time. In other words this next command line creates the Interop dll with a
signature. @ command Prompt...

'tlbimp /keyfile:MyName.snk THECOM.dll'
