Strong name key files

[Merrion]

Is there any way to use a relative path for your strong name key file for an assembly? I currently have:

<Assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("C:\Merrion Computing\Customers\Cooperation\Microsoft\EMFSpoolfileReader\EMFSpoolfileReader.snk")> 

 

But if I take out the absolute path the compiler throws a hissy fit. Ideas?

It does work, and it looks for the file in either the solution, project or build directory - I can't remember which. Also, if it fails to find it one time it sometimes takes a restart of the IDE to make it find it the next time, assuming you moved the file. So a lot of trial and error was necessary on my part when I did this!

you have to escape your string @"full path to snk"

 

you can use a relitive path also @"..\..\snkey.snk" will do it if you have your key in the base project folder.

Merrion is using VB.NET, MadHatter. There is no need to escape anything, short of double quotes.
