Open AssemblyInfo.cs (in $(SolutionDir)\Properties)

the AssemblyKeyFileAttribute or the AssemblyKeyNameAttribute, specifying the name of the file or container that contains the key pair to use when signing the assembly with a strong name.

add the following code:

[assembly:AssemblyKeyFileAttribute("keyfile.snk")]
