Trying to kill two birds with one stone. I’m not well versed in certificates, how they work, etc. If I have an SSL certificate for my corporate web site can I use it to sign my assemblies and have them be trusted? I assume not but thought it was worth asking.
You can sign assemblies (and any Windows dll or exe) with an appropriate code signing certificate where you have the private key.
Unless it is very unusual a web site (authentication) certificate will not have the correct “usage” property to allow it to be used for code signing.
