Add strong name to assemby about web-push-csharp HOT 5 OPEN

Strong naming is idea introduced by Microsoft with first version of .NET framework. It consisted in signing assembly (dll or exe) with key (this key can be simply generated in Visual Studio). Main idea to distinquish same named libraries from different developers, also only strong-named assembly can have "version" and can be moved to GAC.

So, if you use strong-named assemblies, you should use all strong-named references for it (limitation from Microsoft). With .NET Core this limitation was mitigated, but for "big" framework it is still hard to use this libraries.

So, you can just add any key as strong name and put it into repository (Microsoft considers that it normal behavior due key is used only for signing assembly for .NET, not for security). But if you want to keep this key as private, you can add it to .gitignore and add some build configuration which will use this key and other (e.g. 'Debug' without key for others, who use your repository from sources).

Thanks for your tip on targeting "big" frameworks. I've made this change and it's helped.

Adding a stronger name assembly will require a bit more research on my end because it's a technology i have never used before and I don't understand the implications of implementing it yet. Once I get a bit of free time I shall do some research and possibly implement.

Thank you for your project!

Please have a look at my PR to add strong name signing.

Hi again!

To @coryjthompson @JTOne123 @GurGaller or other contributors:
Is this project still alive? Or should one migrate to alternatives? Any kind of "ping" would help...

Thank you!
