Strong Naming Global Static Functions

This section describes the unmanaged global static functions that are used to administer strong name signing for assemblies.

In This Section

• GetHashFromAssemblyFile Function
  Gets a hash of the specified assembly file, using the specified hash algorithm. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• GetHashFromAssemblyFileW Function
  Gets a hash of the assembly file specified as a Unicode string, using the specified hash algorithm. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• GetHashFromBlob Function
  Gets a hash of the assembly at the specified memory address, using the specified hash algorithm. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• GetHashFromFile Function
  Generates a hash over the contents of the specified file. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• GetHashFromFileW Function
  Generates a hash over the contents of the file specified by a Unicode string. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• GetHashFromHandle Function
  Generates a hash over the contents of the file with the specified file handle, using the specified hash algorithm. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• StrongNameCompareAssemblies Function
  Determines whether two assemblies differ only by their strong name signatures. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• StrongNameErrorInfo Function
  Gets the last error code that was raised by one of the strong name functions.

• StrongNameFreeBuffer Function
  Frees memory that was allocated with a previous call to a strong name function such as StrongNameGetPublicKey, StrongNameTokenFromPublicKey, or StrongNameSignatureGeneration. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• StrongNameGetBlob Function
  Fills the specified buffer with the binary representation of the executable file at the specified address. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• StrongNameGetBlobFromImage Function
  Gets a binary representation of the assembly image at the specified memory address. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• StrongNameGetPublicKey Function
  Gets the public key from a private/public key pair. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• StrongNameHashSize Function
  Gets the buffer size required for a hash, using the specified hash algorithm. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• StrongNameKeyDelete Function
  Deletes the specified key container. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• StrongNameKeyGen Function
  Creates a new public/private key pair for strong name use. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• StrongNameKeyGenEx Function
  Generates a new public/private key pair with the specified key size for strong name use. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• StrongNameKeyInstall Function
  Imports a public/private key pair into a container. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• StrongNameSignatureGeneration Function
  Generates a strong name signature for the specified assembly. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• StrongNameSignatureGenerationEx Function
  Generates a strong name signature for the specified assembly, based on the specified flags. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• StrongNameSignatureSize Function
  Returns the size of the strong name signature. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• StrongNameSignatureVerification Function
  Gets a value indicating whether the assembly manifest at the supplied path contains a strong name signature, which is verified according to the specified flags. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• StrongNameSignatureVerificationEx Function
  Gets a value indicating whether the assembly manifest at the supplied path contains a strong name signature. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• StrongNameSignatureVerificationFromImage Function
  Verifies that an assembly that has already been mapped to memory is valid for the associated public key. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• StrongNameTokenFromAssembly Function
  Creates a strong name token from the specified assembly file. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• StrongNameTokenFromAssemblyEx Function
  Creates a strong name token from the specified assembly file, and returns the public key. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.

• StrongNameTokenFromPublicKey Function
  Gets a token representing a public key. Deprecated in the .NET Framework 4.
