I want to create strongly signed support assemblies so they can be shared by
different ASP.NET web apps. This requires that they be installed into the
Global Assembly Cache. To be installed in the GAC means the assemblies must
be signed with a strong name. But according to MS documention: "...Remember
that once you give an assembly a strong name, all assemblies that reference
that assembly also have to have a strong name."
When I develop an ASP.NET web app and the various references point to
System, System.Drawing, System.Web,...etc. I was under the impression that
the MS libraries were in the GAC. Is this true(which means they are signed)?
If so, this would appear to contradict the MS statement.
The goal is to deploy assemblies into the GAC so they can be shared by
different web apps which means they have to be signed with strong names. So
can I still build the different web sites and not sign them while still
referencing the strongly signed assemblies?
Can someone clear this up?
Thanks,
Gery
