Strong signing a third party assembly in .net

Just a quick tip for all you codeplex/codeproject code downloading junkies

Solution for assigning a strong name to a third party DLL using your visual studio command prompt.

E.g. Lets say the name of the third party DLL is myTest.dll.
Step 1: Dis-assemble the assembly
ildasm myTest.dll /out:myTest.il

Step 2: Re-Assemble using your strong-name key
ilasm myTest.il /res:myTest.res /dll /key:myTest.snk /out:myTestSN.dll

for verification you can use following command,
sn -vf myTestSN.dll

Breaking radio silence

As some of you already mailed me, I kind of stopped blogging by the end of the Chennai adventure...

So what happened in the meanwhile ?

Things got pretty hectic at work, got hooked on Guild Wars (dropped WoW for it) and after a few weeks decided that I had to stop playing it. Reaching the addict level is never a good thing .
So I quit gaming all together. Sold my Wii ... and replaced it for a PS3 as new gaming station.

Since I had no 'time consuming hobby' left I decided to pick up an old dream: learn to play guitar. So I am quite busy with that nowadays.

Did a evening seminar at SAI on Scrum together with Peter Bauwens and had the opportunity to go to Tech-Ed Barcelona in november, and for the rest got some interesting projects going at work...
