When creating code behind for web controls and other things, there is the need of signing the assembly that we will later deploy in the GAC.
In order to Create a Public/Private Key Pair with VS 2008, go to Tools > External Tools and create a new entry:
Command line is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\sn.exe
and you will be prompt to change the argument when you go to Tools again and choose the jsut created "Create a new key pair". Just change the [FileName] with a proper name.
Many times there is also the need of getting the Public Key Token of an Assembly. To do this within Visual Studio 2008, repeat the steps with
Command line is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\sn.exe
