Answer 1

If you are compiling C# code you can use the /keyfile option to the compiler on the command line, like this:

csc.exe /keyfile:strong.snk /out:My.exe File.cs

Or if you are using Visual Studio you can set the strong name key in the project settings on the "Signing" tab check the "Sign the assembly" option and specify the key file.
