ICLRStrongName::StrongNameKeyGenEx Method

  • Článek

Updated: July 2010

Generates a new public/private key pair with the specified key size, for strong name use.

BOOLEAN StrongNameKeyGenEx (
    [in]  LPCWSTR   wszKeyContainer,
    [in]  DWORD     dwFlags,
    [in]  DWORD     dwKeySize,
    [out] BYTE      **ppbKeyBlob,
    [out] ULONG     *pcbKeyBlob
);

Parameters

  • wszKeyContainer
    [in] The requested key container name. wszKeyContainer must either be a non-empty string or null to generate a temporary name.

  • dwFlags
    [in] A value that specifies whether to leave the key registered. The following values are supported:

    • 0x00000000 - Used when wszKeyContainer is null to generate a temporary key container name.

    • 0x00000001 (SN_LEAVE_KEY) - Specifies that the key should be left registered.

  • dwKeySize
    [in] The requested size of the key, in bits.

  • ppbKeyBlob
    [out] The returned public/private key pair.

  • pcbKeyBlob
    [out] The size, in bytes, of ppbKeyBlob.

Return Value

true if the method completed successfully; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The .NET Framework versions 1.0 and 1.1 require a dwKeySize of 1024 bits to sign an assembly with a strong name; version 2.0 adds supports for 2048-bit keys.

After the key is retrieved, you should call the ICLRStrongName::StrongNameFreeBuffer method to release the allocated memory.
