Question
I'm trying to build an application that is strongly named. It is referencing a COM interop library that I add via the Add References dialog. It's been a while, but I seem to recall that in older versions of visual studio, there was a project setting for Wrapper Assembly Key File. I can't seem to find it in Visual Studio 2008?
Solution
I came across your post looking for the same thing, but found a different route on my own to get around the issue of strong naming a COM Interop referenced assembly.
You can sign the imported type library assembly with the key file before you reference it in Visual Studio by using the /keyfile:<key.snk>
parameter:
tlbimp MyCOMService.tlb /out:Interop.MyCOMService.dll /keyfile:MyKeyFile.snk
