    [InAttribute] String^ strPublicOnlyFile
)
abstract GenerateKeyPairFiles : 
        strPublicPrivateFile:string * 
        strPublicOnlyFile:string -> unit
function GenerateKeyPairFiles(
    strPublicPrivateFile : String,

Remarks

A strong name consists of the assembly's identity — its simple text name, version number, and culture information (if provided) — plus a public key and a digital signature. The public/private key pair, used to create the digital signature, may be stored in a file or in a container in the Cryptographic Service Provider. The Strong Name Tool (Sn.exe) creates the file or container. The container name is specified by the user when running the tool, and that same name is used in this property. For more information, see Strong-Named Assemblies.

A cryptographic service provider is an independent software module that performs cryptography algorithms for authentication, encoding, and encryption. For more information, see Microsoft Cryptographic Service Providers.
