我想签署我的项目的输出DLL，但这些项目可以在不同的机器上工作

Question

I want to sign output DLLs of my projects.

I have created .pfx file on my machine (Project properties.Signing.Sign the assembly with Visual studio 2008 on .NET 3.5 CE ) and able to sign DLLs but when I push my code to repository (as every project has .pfx file is included ) but my server is not able to build project it gives error as

[“Import Key file”]

I am getting same error when I tried to run this project on different machine.

How can I create project with .pfx signing which can run on every developer machine without importing .pfx file.

How can I create project with .pfx signing which can run on every developer machine without importing .pfx file.

Visual Studio allows you to perform both ClickOnce and Strong Name signing by specifying a file path to the .PFX file (ideally within your solution hierarchy or somewhere common to all DEV/CI machines) without requiring you to import the certificate into the Windows Certificate Store beforehand.

On the Signing page:

a) for ClickOnce, tick Sign the ClickOnce manifests , choose Select From File... and select your projects .PFX

b) for Strong Naming, tick Sign the Assembly then click Choose a strong name key file , then click Browse and select your .PFX

It's advisable to put the .PFX into your solution's hierarachy and use relative paths.
