Great, that solves one question, strong name won't be checked by clients.

I am investigating the use of strong naming in our .Net solutions.

Does it make sense to use strong naming on .Net application that won't be
put into Global Assembly Cache?
What can I benefit from strong naming a web service?

Thanks,
Guogang
