The key or key pair in the key container is used for strong naming an assembly. The Compiler sets the public key in the assembly manifest and signs the final assembly with the private key. See the Visual Studio Help topic for more information.
You can alternatively specify the keys using the ILKEYFILE directive. You can also partially sign the assembly using the ILDELAYSIGN directive.
