SecurityUtilities.SignFile Method (String, Uri, String, String)

Signs a ClickOnce manifest or PE file. This overload is new as of Visual Studio 2013 Update 3. This overload allows you to specify the target framework version for the file. You are encouraged to use this overload wherever possible, because the MSBuild process uses SHA256 hashes only when the target framework is .NET 4.5 or higher. If the target framework is .NET 4.0 or below, the SHA256 hash will not be used.

MSBuild is now included in Visual Studio instead of the .NET Framework.You can use MSBuild 12.0 side-by-side with versions previously deployed with the .NET Framework.For more information, see What's New in MSBuild 12.0.
