Signed assembly build
0

Hello,

I have installed DO 4.3.0 RC4. My DO model assembly is signed by "xyz.pfx" strong name key file (like other assemblies in solution). When I try to build this model assembly I gets error :

"Error 2 "sn.exe" exited with code 1. Altea4.Data.Models"

Assembly is x86. Any idea how I can solve this problem?

Other signed assemblies with the same key file in solution I can build without problems.

All assemblies in solution are bilt for x86.

Step-by-step to reproduce a problem:

  1. Create new DO4 model assembly + create model entities
  2. Sign assembly with "pfx" key name file.
  3. First build throws error that "snk" file generation is needed
  4. OK, generate snk file with sn.exe to same location as pfx file
  5. Second build throws error, which I described in previous post.

So the only difference is that assembly is built for x86?

If so, likely, we must report about this to PostSharp team.

It seems that if i use Any CPU than everything builds just fine. Seems to be some bug only in x86 build from postsharp?!

This may be due to PostSharp. Support for PFX is quite bad. The recommended approach is to delay-sign your assembly with an SNK, and sign it with a PFX only at the end of the build (or, even better, when you build the setup program -- in large companies, developers dont even have the PFX).

You can export the public key of a PFX into an SNK by using 'sn -p MyKey.pfx MyKey.snk'.
