When we execute our code which refers an assembly(dll) then that assembly gets validated for the signature validation and if it's a non-signed or delay signed(in some cases) then it throws the error:
Could not load file or assembly '[Your file], Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=[public key token]' or one of its dependencies. Strong name validation failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8013141A).
To solve this we can disable the verification of an assembly by using sn.exe available at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools" (depends on the Framework you are using i.e .Net framework 4.5 in my case)
Open Command Prompt and run the command:
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools"
SN -Vr YourAssemblyName
After disabling the verification the CLR will not verify the assembly signature.
Then to re-enable the verification of the assembly run:
SN -Vu YourAssemblyName
