Unable To Create Strong Named Assemblies

[Ronald]

Hello Friends,
I have created a Strong Name Key named "mykey.snk" in my project folder.
I have added the key using

<Assembly: AssemblyKeyFileAttribute("mykey.snk")>

When I compile my application, it is giving me an error. "Error Creating Assembly Manifest: Error reading key file 'mykey.snk' - The system cannot find the file specified".

I copied the key and placed in all the directories of my project, but in vain, I am getting the same error.
How to resolve this..

Dear Ronald,
Have you added
Imports System.Reflexion namespace to your application.

 

[Ronald]

Yes,
That's the one, I have done first.

Dear Ronald,
There is a minor mistake.

You are using <Assembly: AssemblyKeyFileAttribute("mykey.snk")>

But you have to you <Assembly: AssemblyKeyFileAttribute("..\\..\\mykey.snk")>

Since you mykey.snk is in you project folder, you have to use the above syntax.

See this link.

Yehh....
Now it is working.
Why we want to use "..\\..\\". Anyway I am placing the key in the project folder.
Can you explain me.
