You are creating a class library that will be used in a web application.
You need to ensure that the class library assembly is strongly named.
What should you do?
A. Use assembly attributes.
B. Use the csc.exe /target:Library option when building the application.
C. Use the xsd.exe command-line tool.
D. Use the EdmGen.exe command-line tool.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
The Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) provides several ways to sign an assembly with a strong name:
* (A) Using assembly attributes to insert the strong name information in your code. You can use either the AssemblyKeyFileAttribute or the AssemblyKeyNameAttribute, depending on where the key file to be used is located.
* Using the Assembly Linker (Al.exe) provided by the Windows SDK.
* Using compiler options such /keyfile or /delaysign in C# and Visual Basic, or the /KEYFILE or /DELAYSIGN linker option in C++. (For information on delay signing, see Delay Signing an Assembly.)
