I have a c# solution that contains multiple c# class libraries. I am being doing some research recently and it is suggested that the outputted assemblies from my libraries should be signed, making them signed with a strong name. Firstly I am wondering if it is best that I progress with such? The libraries that outputted from these class libraries are used in multiple other projects.
If it is advised from my previous question that yes I should sign my dll’s, the .snk I use, can this be used for each of the class libraries in the solution? Or must it be one key per class library?
Sometimes signing an assembly is a requirement. This is true if you wish to GAC your assembly, or if a signed assembly wants to reference another assembly.
You can reuse the same
.snkfile, and doing so will result in the same Public Key Token for all assemblies.
