How can I digitally sign my C# application ?

Question

_{Saturday, November 6, 2010 4:58 AM}

Hello, i've created a tweaker application in Visual Studio 2010 using c# as my language and targeting the .net framewrok 3.5

I would just like to know what is the procedure to sign my application, so that in UAC instead of the name publisher name as "Unknown", a relevant name gets displayed.

Thanks,

Siddharth Srivastava

There a few steps involved.  You must first create a key-file for exclusive use by all of your published applications.  You would need to save this file in a VERY SECURE location.  Some of the larger companies use their own vault containing a server that holds the file.

Then you must apply the key to your assemblies.  You will find additional links on the pages.
