How I do a sign an assembly that has already been built into a dll specifically flute.dll

The reason I want to sign the dll is because I want to add it to the Global Assembly Cache. The assembly is a css parsing engine written in Java and ported to J#. I use VS2008 so I can't make J# projects. It doesn't have a strong name key assigned to it and I have no idea how to do it now that it's built.

Anyone have any ideas?

Step 1: Dis-assemble the assembly 

ildasm myTest.dll /out:myTest.il

Step 2: Re-Assemble using your strong-name key 

ilasm myTest.il /res:myTest.res /dll /key:myTest.snk /out:myTestSN.dll

For verification you can use following command:

sn -vf myTestSN.dll

Hope this helps!
