Creating strong names in .NET using Strong Name Tool
.net, strongname, visual-studio
Solution
Open a Visual Studio Command Prompt instead of a normal command prompt. (Start > Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 > Visual Studio Tools > Visual Studio Command Prompt.) This will set up your PATH to include the .NET Framework SDK directories, which include `sn.exe`.
If you need to set up the path manually for your own scripts or command prompts, the path you need is:
`C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin`
(Exact version number may vary.)
Problem
After getting the instruction from google, I've tried to create StrongNameFile with the following command: ``` C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\sn -k StrongNameFile.snk ``` When I ran the command, I got an error message: ``` 'sn' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. ``` I tried it in the following way: ``` C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\SDK\v3.5\Bin>sn -k StrongNameFile.snk ``` But got the same error. Please somebody help me to solve this problem.
