ILKEYFILE

Specifies a key file, which contains a key or public/private key pair for strong naming an assembly.

Syntax:

Restriction: This directive is supported for .NET COBOL only.

>>-----.---ILKEYFILE--"keyfile"--.---><
       +-NOILKEYFILE-------------+

Parameters:

keyfile: The name of the key file

Properties:

Default:	NOILKEYFILE
IDE equivalent:	Click Project > Properties > Application > Assembly Information and fill in Key File
Assembly manifest attribute:	System.Reflection.AssemblyKeyFile

Comments:

The Compiler sets the public key in the assembly manifest and signs the final assembly with the private key. See the Visual Studio Help topic Strong-Name Assemblies (Assembly Signing) for more information.

To generate the key file, use the .NET sn.exe utility.

You can alternatively specify the keys using the ILKEYNAME directive. You can also partially sign the assembly using the ILDELAYSIGN directive.
