Attribute based signing, anyone?

Question

I have a question back to the community. Is anyone using the old style signing mechanism for assemblies based on attributes, such as the form below?

[assembly: AssemblyKeyFile(...)]

In order to get Code Contracts cleanly integrated into the build, I've had to break support for this, but I don't want to upset you if you have good reasons not to switch to the new project setting based signing.

Please let me know.

Answer 1

I don't expect that anyone is still using this.

But if you are breaking support for it, may I suggest you add an ObsoleteAttribute to it.

Kris.

Answer 2

Thanks for the suggestion. I think the C# compiler does warn about its use and suggests the new way of signing.

Looks like I won't be inconveniencing too many with this change ;-)
