I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and I have a solution which contains multiple projects. I have 1 snk to sign my assemblies and this lives in a solution folder.
I've linked the snk to each of my projects but now when I attempt to sign my project with that linked snk I can't find the snk file with the file dialog.
Have I missed a step here?
Solution
> Solution Folder
MyKey.snk
> Project X
> _LinkedFiles
MyKey.snk (physical file doesn't appear here but shows in VS)

Well, not much response here but I did find a solution I was comfortable with. I've got a ProductAssemblyInfo which lives in a solution folder but is linked to each project as below.
Solution
> Build (Solution Folder)
MyKey.snk
ProductAssemblyInfo.cs
> Project X
> _LinkedFiles
ProductAssemblyInfo.cs
> ...
The ProductLevelAssembly contains the following line:
[assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("../../Build/MyKey.snk")]
That way the key file never gets copied into each project but each assembly is still signed by the key.
