Re: How do I programmatically verify that strong naming is turned off

I've never come across any built-in API for this. You can, however, read
the list of the verification skip entries from the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\StrongName\Verification registry key.

BTW, do you need to throw even if the assembly and/or key's presence on the
skip list had no effect (i.e.: if the assembly was fully and validly
signed)? If not, you might want to consider re-validating the assembly
rather than examining the skip list. The StrongNameSignatureVerificationEx
function can be used for this. See
