Hi

I just wonder is it any point to use the sn kommand to create a strong name
file when I can do all this from VS ?
I mean that if I take property on a project and then select the Signing tab
I can both create and assign this strong name to my assembly.

Back in the times of VS2002 and VS2003 you could NOT do it from within
VS, so it was always necessary to resort to SN. The new versions can
generate the key file from within Visual Studio, but it is nice to still
have this functionality in the command-line tool, for backwards
compatibility. And besides, SN does many more things besides generating key
files, so the tool itself is still needed.
