Hi
I have a dll which is signed with custom digital certificate (not from trusted certifying authority like Verisign etc). I want to validate programatically that dll is untampered.So what is the offering from .Net to handle such requirement?

Thanks

You don't have to do anything. The .NET framework will attempt to validate a signed assembly when loading it. It has been tampered with, it will not load and you will get an exception.
