     a. Generate the key (cmd command): sn -k key.snk
     b. Put the following lines in your assembly source code:

  using System;

  ....

  [assembly:AssemblyKeyFile(@"PATH\key.snk")]
  [assembly:AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")] 

  ....
  namespace My

}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<configuration>

 <runtime>

   <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
