It definitely works, but I don't trust VS too much to be reliable. It has a nasty habit of trying to be "helpful" and finding files in different locations because it can't find them where they should be. This is one of the main drivers that moved me to NAnt as we had no end of problems trying to get solutions to build on developer machines because of hint paths etc. The alternative is to use the <args> element in the <vbc> task to explicitly pass the location of the key file when I compile the application.

Are you sure this works from Visual Studio ? From what I've read you should specify the assemblykeyfile as "a path relative to the project output directory which is / %Project Directory%\obj\<configuration>. For example, if your KeyFile is located in the project directory, you would specify the AssemblyKeyFile attribute as [assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("..\\..\\mykey.snk")]". > Will this now break as a result of changes made > when I upgrade to 0.85? You might have to change your attribute to <Assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("..\\..\\Component.snk")> Gert ______________________________________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This communication and the information it contains is intended for the person or organisation to whom it is addressed.
