Using Powershell to get the strong name of an assembly

Harley Green — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 20:33:00 GMT

Here's a short powershell script to get the strong name of an assembly:

function Get-AssemblyName {
param($file)
$path = Resolve-Path $file
[System.Reflection.AssemblyName]::GetAssemblyName($path).FullName
}

If you add this to your profile, you can set up an external tool in Visual Studio to run this against the current project:
