Strong Naming Fails for .NET 2.0

[Sachin Patil]

Hi,

I am trying to strong name the ASP.NET 2.0 output dll. I have added web
deployment project then specified the public key and checked the box "allow
delay signing" in the project properties. Also I specified to create a single
output dll for the application.
But after compiling I get error message
ASPNETCOMPILER : error ASPRUNTIME: Could not load file or assembly
'App_Code, Version=1.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'
or one of its dependencies. Strong name validation failed. (Exception from
HRESULT: 0x8013141A)

There are no references to external files / dlls in the project. This is
very simple asp.net 2.0 web application. Can some one point out what is
missing here?

Thanks!

If you're using delay signing, you'll need to add a verification skip entry
in order for your assembly to be allowed to load (not suitable for
production use). This is done using the sn.exe -Vr option. See
