Hello,

With VS 2003, I used to add a .snk file in the solution items, and for each
projects, I added the AssemblyKeyFile attribute in assemblyinfo.cs pointing
to that key file (..\..\..\mykey.snk).

With VS 2005, the project property page does not allow using relative path.
Moreover, if I browse for the key file, the file is duplicated. If I keep
the "old" syntax (using the attribute in assemblyinfo.cs), the compiler
throw a warning.

Is there any "official" way to share the same key file across all projects
in the same solution ?

Thanks,
Steve

Whenever you use browse for the key file in the project property pages
it will ALWAYS copy the key file. Alternatively you can try editing the
AssemblyInfo.cs/vb file under the Properties node and manually add the
path to the key file there.
