Code signing (signcode versus strong name)?

What is the difference between the following two ways of signing
.net-applications?

1) I give the assembly a strong name.
(By specifying a key-file in the AssemblyInfo.cs-File)/using sn.exe.

2) I compile the assembly without strong name.
Afterwards I attach a signature to the binary using signcode.exe
(like it is done for COM)

Thank you
