Strong Naming an existing assembly

Now this is one problem that we face when we use a 3rd party DLL, which is not-strongly named & we still want to dump it to GAC.

So, lets see the 5-step solution:

1. Go to Visual Studio Command Prompt
2. Generate a Strong Name Key File
   sn -k keyPair.snk 
3. Obtain MSIL for the assembly
   ildasm Assembly.dll /out:Assembly.il 
    
4. Rename the original assembly
   ren Assembly.dll Assembly.dll.old 
    
5. Create a new assembly from MSIL & Key File
   ilasm Assembly.il /dll /key= keyPair.snk 

The new Assembly is a strong-named assembly.
