What are Strong Named Assemblies? Explain steps to create them.

They are the assemblies which can be uniquely identified by attaching the strong name to the dll name. It gives a unique name to each assembly of various versions. This allows solving the DLL hell problem.

Steps:

a. sn -k StrongNameFile.snk – creates a strong key
b. [assembly:AssemblyKeyFile("StrongNameFile.snk")] – tag the assembly with the string key.
