VS 2008 Signing A Project?
Mar 21, 2009
I've got a project which I would like to sign, however I've never done it before and I'm having a bit of trouble. The problem is that one of the dll files the project references is not signed. This results in an error, stating that the project assembly cannot be signed due to an unsigned referenced assembly. I'm not the author of the problematic unsigned assembly, so I can't sign it directly from VS (or at least I don't know how).

Where can I get a free code signing certificate for signing my applications? Ascertia used to give them out for free but apparently they don't anymore.

Dear Sir,When I publish my package, i am getting the following error.
[Code]...
I think this can be solved by Changing the validity in the signing property of the package. But I'm not able to change this period.

My application is small, I intend to use the installer that comes with VS 2008 Prof.Edition, or ClickOnce.I'm wondering which is better, I need to include a copy of the .NET framework 2.0 in a package, and have it installed simply, and also be easy to uninstall.

For reasons that are beyond my control, I have three Projects. Projects A and B reference project C. Project A references project B so that it can open a large form in project B. I now need to open that large form from project C, but VB won't allow me to add a reference from C to B because that would create a circular dependency. I found a way around it, though. I created a Timer in A, and when I opened C from A, I passed in that timer. When the user performs a certain action, I enable the Timer from A, and this causes C to open B for me.

I see tool like SN which generates private/public key pair for signing an assembly. And using AL tool we can assign a strong name to an assembly. And we have also Sign tool which is used for signing the assembly (probably for using with certificates exclusively?). What is the exact difference between the two?. Is it sign tool have to be used when working with certificates and can it we acheive it SN?. or are they totally different.?

I have an app published using ClickOnce. When an app is published that way, you get a temporary certificate which expires in a year. My year will be up in a couple months, and I am considering my options.One option, which a colleague is using, is to build a more sustained certificate using makecert.exe. By doing this, I can get a certificate of arbitrary length (or so I am told, as I haven't actually followed this route, yet). The problem with this route is that MS is pretty clear that makecert is for testing purposes.
I can also see that I could go to verisign or some such and buy a certificate, but that has a significant cost (well, I'm sure my employer wouldn't be too concerned about it, but it seems pretty high to me). The program has very narrow applicabiliity and narrow appeal (it has to do with counting fish). What I am wondering is whether there is sound reason to go with a certificate that is more than what makecert will create, and what that reason is? Additionally, I'm looking for information as to whether an internal CA, such as we have, which can make a certificate, will cause me any trouble if I use it to sign a ClickOnce app that won't be used entirely internal?

I'm converting a VB6 dll to VB.Net using Visual Studio 2008 Express. I want to use the same .dll to integrate with Excel via Excel-DNA, but also to be available via COM (I need to be able to call it from VBScript and VBA).
If I leave the assembly unsigned, I have access to all of the ExcelDNA functionality but no COM access.
If I sign the assembly with a strong name, then when I try to build the .dll I get the following error:
Unable to emit assembly: Referenced assembly 'ExcelDna.Integration' does not have a strong name.What are my options?

I can encrypt/decrypt fine with a certificate that is in a PFX file because the Private Key is contained in the X509Certificate2, but if I import the certificate to my personal store and mark the private key as non-exportable I have almost no clue what to do to get the decryption done. I have narrow traces to CryptoAPI but I haven't been able to find any articles or code sample neither in VC++ nor C# (to be translated to VB.NET)..

"Error 2 An error occurred while signing: Key not valid for use in specified state." I found this solution on the internet but I have no idea how to do it."Delete all data sources in the Server Explorer and add them again. Run the wizard again."

when I try to publish a program it gives signing error like this:
Quote:
Error2An error occurred while signing: Failed to sign binReleaseapp.publish\setup.exe. SignTool Error: Signtool requires CAPICOM version 2.1.0.1 or higher. Please copy the latest version of CAPICOM.dll into the directory that contains SignTool.exe. If CAPICOM.dll exists, you may not have proper permissions to install CAPICOM.Liquid Transfer
It happens to a company computer and who knows what updates it has. It was working fine the first day I got the computer though.

I have developed an active x control and signed it with certificate. I know that digital signing is needed , so that the browser knows that the active x comes valid source.My asp.net form has a button , which invokes a method on activex control as -[code]....
But it errors on browser stating that the - IE has blocked this site from using an active x control in an unsafe manner. ( Please see attachment).So should I have to develop the active x control which implement IObjectSafety and also signed digitally, so that it can execute on client browser without any warnings from IE. Any examples.

Hi guys, we have an application which requires elevation to admin rights on VISTA/Windows 7 machine because it provides an ActiveX interface. We can't at present get around this requirement. With a manifest file and on a VISTA machine we get the UAC administrator prompt 'An unidentified program wants access to your computer' and logon request. Disabling UAC is not an option with our clients. I believe that authenticode signing the EXE will at least make the program trusted and thus remove the logon request. But I believe we will still be left with a grey prompt that asks something like 'Did you run this program, do you want to continue' - is this correct? Is there any way of getting rid of the prompts completely?

The .NET security model throws security errors whenever a .NET exe is run from a file share. The error does not appear when ran from a local drive. Does anyone know of a way around this without requiring the code to be signed?

I requested a Code Signing Certificate from my own domain Certification Authority on my Windows 2008 R2 domain controller.
When trying to publish my code to my webserver via Clickonce, it throws "an error occurred while signing: Invalid provider type specified"
In order to get the certificate I duplicated the Code Signing template on my CA, and tried both options available:
1) must use Microsoft Software Key Storage Provider
2) use any provider available locally
algorithm is RSA, key minim size 2048, Hash SHA1, alternative format unchecked

I am really new to Visual Studio and VB and I am having trouble closing a single form:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.Close()
End Sub
When I use Me.close() associated with this button it closes the entire project and not just the single form can anyone.

I went to load an app I was working on before my system died a few days back and I loaded up VB Express 2010 .Net, opened my project and saw this error ...

If this is related to the Security Certificates stored by XP, then I'm in trouble as they are GONE. Must I start a new project and rebuild this whole app?
