Delay Signing a Smart Document Assembly [Office 2003 SDK Documentation]

If you need to sign an assembly that must be strongly named so that you can test it, but you don't have access to your organization's private key, you can delay sign your assembly. Delay signing allows you to test a smart document assembly that requires a strong name without performing the actual signing. Then you can sign the assembly after development is completed. For more information, see Delay Signing an Assembly on MSDN, Microsoft Developer Network, Web site. This article provides a detailed explanation of delay signing issues and solutions for assemblies.
