Subject: Page 33 Creating digital signature
Posted By: bmiller28 Post Date: 6/6/2003 12:41:25 PM
Using the command window in VS.Net attempting to create a digital signature file it recommends typing the command SN -K ThePhile.SNK to create the digital signature file.  I get back "Command "SN" is not valid."  What might I be doing wrong?

I think that you should use the VS.NET Command Prompt in the VS.NET Tools and not the command window in the VS application...

Hi Bmiller

There is one more thing u should take care about while using the SN from the VS.NET command Prompt. Instead of as listed in the book SN -K, you should use SN -k. As you can notice the lowercase of -k parameter.

This is also listed in the errata section of the book on wrox.com under the following URL

I myself have never gotten SN or sn to work in the VS command line... don't matter though. I have generated a strong name (key) successfully using sn.exe directly. It's located here, assuming drive C:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\SDK\v1.1\Bin>

If you run it from here, you'll do just fine.

Did you read the other messages in this thread? You need to use the Visual Studio Command Prompt.

Or you can just drill down on your folders to locate sn.exe - or you can search for it with Windows explorer.

By the way, most newbies to ASP.NET probably will not have any reason to use a strong name key. This is possible to use, but provides you with no real benefit unless you have to install an assembly in the GAC. And most websites do not use the GAC.
