Here is an example: “$(VS80COMNTOOLS)Bin\mt.exe” -manifest “$(ProjectDir)$(TargetFileName).manifest” -outputresource:$(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName);#1 “$(VS80COMNTOOLS)Bin\signtool.exe” sign /a $(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName) Just a follow-up to the above, if you are using .pfx (password protected key instead of .snk) you will want to use signtool.exe instead of sn.exe.

Here are the post-build events I successfully used in my Visual Studio 2005 C# project (run "When the build updates the project output"). "$(VS80COMNTOOLS)Bin\mt.exe" -manifest "$(ProjectDir)$(ProjectName).manifest" -outputresource:"$(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName)";#1 "$(VS80COMNTOOLS)..\..\SDK\v2.0\Bin\sn.exe" -R "$(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName)" "$(ProjectDir)$(ProjectName).snk" (I named my manifest file MyProjectName.manifest rather than MyProjectName.exe.manifest.)

“$(VS80COMNTOOLS)Bin\mt.exe” -manifest “$(ProjectDir)$(ProjectName).manifest” -outputresource:”$(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName)”;#1

“$(VS80COMNTOOLS)..\..\SDK\v2.0\Bin\sn.exe” -R “$(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName)” “$(ProjectDir)$(ProjectName).snk”

(I named my manifest file MyProjectName.manifest rather than MyProjectName.exe.manifest.)
