in the 3.2 version, it appears the BaseTemplates.csproj (dated 1/30/06) contains (among others) these two items

<ItemGroup>
    <Compile Include="..\GlobalAssemblyInfo.cs">
      <Link>GlobalAssemblyInfo.cs</Link>
    </Compile>

<ItemGroup>
    <None Include="..\..\Licenses\Keys\CodeSmith.snk">
      <Link>CodeSmith.snk</Link>
    </None>
  </ItemGroup>

After installing the latest 3.2 (released), I don't seem to have those two files in my 3.2 tree, nor even the ="..\..\Licenses directory.

Solved this. Figuring out exactly how to incorporate the samples into my development work (for the 2nd time) took a while. I had it working in 3.0, then the upgrade broke some of my DLL dependency chains. Looking back at the sample projects, I had to recreate (better, this time) the steps to get it all working and integrated into VS 2005. I'll put together a tip post, if anyone indicates interest. (The steps include modifying the sample project's references to the missing files referenced in the original post, in addition to quite a few others, BTW)

 I am having problem in building base templates for Codesmith prof. 4.1. I get this codesmith.snk file is missing. You said you were able to resolve. Could you share the steps what exactly you did.

Thanks,

Hey Ravi,

Inside the template you are trying to build, open up the AssemblyInfo.cst file (if it is there) and remove the AssemblyKeyFile attribute.

If your template doesn’t contain an AssemblyInfo.cst, then check to see if it is generating a project file with the CodeSmith.snk (Strong Name Key) inside of ItemGroup. If you find this XML node in your project file remove it, as your assembly doesn’t need to be signed.

Thanks
