Answer / fabin rodrigues

Before signing an assembly we have to prepare the strong
key.

Step 1:

Go to Command prompt type---> sn.exe -k "Path for saving
the key"

eg:

C:\Program Files\Common files\test> sn.exe -k "D:\test.snk"

the key pair will be generated in the particular location

Step 2:

Click on the Project Properties and Go to signing Tab
And browse for the strong key generated and and sign the dll


Satellite assemblies are assemblies which do not contain
source code. They only contain resource files. You can
create a satellite assembly using rsgen.exe and al.exe.
They are in binary DLL format which makes it easier to ship
it during deployment. So finally during deployment you do
not need to ship the resx files but only the compiled
satellite DLL.
