Tim! Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I've noticed I can't code-sign my plugin because Paint.NET doesn't have a strong name. Error 1 Assembly generation failed -- Referenced assembly 'PaintDotNet.Core' does not have a strong name Error 2 Assembly generation failed -- Referenced assembly 'PaintDotNet.Effects' does not have a strong name What's the reason for not giving it a strong name?

Rick Brewster Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 You can code sign using Authenticode just fine. However, it's very easy to confuse that term with strong naming. Paint.NET doesn't strong name its assemblies for reasons of simplicity and performance, and because there's really no need for it. It's not meant to be some system-wide reusable library, or part of an ASP.NET application secured behind a DMZ or whatever. Strong naming is kind of one of those "now you have two problems" issues.
