I am unable to specify the AssemblyKeyFile file name without specifying a fully qualified path to the file; i.e.
<Assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("C:\solution folder\keyfile.snk")> works but
<Assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("keyfile.snk")> does not

All examples I have seen do not specify the full path to the key file. When building the solution in the Visual Studio .NE
IDE where does it look for the file? I've tried the solution folder, the project folder and the project's BIN folder

Is there an IDE configuration step I've missed

Thanks in advanc
Craig

The docs are wrong. I do not remember the relative location but try the
following until it works:

<Assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("..\keyfile.snk")>
<Assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("..\..\keyfile.snk")>
etc.

Hi Carlos
That worked fine once I'd increased the number of levels. I now understand it is in relation to the OBJ\RELEASE or OBJ\DEBUG subfolder; not in relation to the BIN folder

PS It's nice to get chased to reply.
