Simple way to get the 4-part strong name for an assembly
As you will know when building SharePoint solutions you always need to determine the 4-part assembly name or Strong Name for inclusion in various solution and feature manifests. I typically got this by pointing Reflector at my compiled DLL files.
Simpler way using Power Shell
Using the ‘External Tools’ option within visual studio you can create a quick link, so from your solution just click the ‘Get 4-Part Name’ link and out pops the 4-part assembly name in you’re output window.
Resulting output window…
How to add a new External Tool
Select ‘External Tools…’ from the Tools menu in Visual Studio
TITLE : Give the tool a title. You can use an ‘&’ character which will act as a short cut i.e. ALT+G.
COMMAND : powershell.exe
Arguments: -command "[System.Reflection.AssemblyName]::GetAssemblyName(\"$(TargetPath)\").FullName"
3. Make sure you check ‘use output window’ to post the result in the VS output window.
Simple but a great time saver
