Hello,
I have a Web Project (UserControls.dll) with some user controls that is shared by many asp.net web applicattions. What we do is copy UserControls.dll to all the applications bin folders an this works correctly. We want to have this shared code in the GAC. Wit other non-web projects we create a snk file, add it to the project and compile. Later we register this dll manually in the GAC. I have been trying to do this with a web project , and all the time I get an error saying that it cannot read the snk file. Is it possible to strong name the generated dll of a web project? Thanks in Advance. Manuel |

Yes it is, but with ASP.NET there are two places where a binary is built.
You may have to put the strong name in the temporary directory where things are built: c:\documents and settings\<userName>\VSWebCache\<machineName>\<appl icationName> |

Hello Chris,
Thanks for the reply. Our problem is that we cannot compile our web project with the user controls when we add a snk file and reference it from Assembly file. It seems as if you cannot use then with web projects. >-----Original Message----- >Yes it is, but with ASP.NET there are two places where a binary is built. >You may have to put the strong name in the temporary directory where things >are built: > >c:\documents and >settings\<userName>\VSWebCache\<machineName>\<app licationN ame> >>-- >Chris Jackson >Software Engineer >Microsoft MVP - Windows Client >Windows XP Associate Expert >-- >More people read the newsgroups than read my email. >Reply to the newsgroup for a faster response. >(Control-G using Outlook Express) >-- > >"Manuel Lopez" <mcpollo> wrote in message >news:5557 controls that >> is shared by many asp.net web applicattions. >> >> What we do is copy UserControls.dll to all the applications bin >> folders an this works correctly. >> >> We want to have this shared code in the GAC. >> >> Wit other non-web projects we create a snk file, add it to the project >> and compile.

I may be missing what you are asking here. Are you trying to compile the
project you are strong naming and failing? If that is the case, then you need to move the SNK file. The error that is generated should tell you the directory it is searching in and failing to find it. Have you compiled and strong named an assembly, and having trouble referencing it? You should definitely be able to reference a strong named file - that also works. You just need to make sure it is in the search path. What is the error that you are seeing? |

Hello Again Chris,
My problem is that i canīt generate the strong name "web" project. The snk file is the at the same level of of vbproj file, and in assembly i have : <Assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("..\..\Keys.snk")> I have tried copying the snk file to the bin directory, changing the path and it just doesnīt work for a "Web" project. Maybe you just canīt strong name a "Web" through Visual Studio. Thanks >-----Original Message----- >I may be missing what you are asking here.

You can strong name it, you just have to manually drag the SNK file to the
VSWebCache folder (as indicated in my first post). VS.NET does not provide the mechanisms, though the error message should help you locate the proper directory. The folder in inetpub is NOT where it goes. I have done it before, I just don't have any on this machine to give you the exact location, but I promise you that it works. |

I guess I should point out, for the sake of completeness, that this may not
be the best idea. The reason I have strong named ASP.NET assemblies is basically just to see if it can be done. (Well, FXCop was barking...) However, note that the model for ASP.NET is not *complete* compilation, but rather compilation of the code behind, followed by JIT compilation of the declarative ASPX page. So, your derived forms won't actually exist in the strong named assembly. What you should consider is developing a class library of classes that derive from the UserControl class to provide the basic functionality that you need, and then provide declarative pages whose code behind inherits from this. This just occurred to me, so I figured I would add this appendix... |
