Solution 1

You don't sign the project. You actually sign the assembly in order for it to be strongly-named. Basically, it's for security purposes, but the following article describes its importance in more detail.

hi,
To be more clear and simple, GAC is a storage/repository for shared Assemblies
why do we go for shared Assemblies is that the dll can be used in many applications
To Protect your assemblies from being modified/changed it is necessary that you sign the assemblies using strong name key
