How do I find the PublicKeyToken for a particular dll?

Using PowerShell, you can execute this statement:

([system.reflection.assembly]::loadfile("C:\..\Full_Path\..\MyDLL.dll")).FullName

The output will provide the Version, Culture and PublicKeyToken as shown below:

MyDLL, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=669e0ddf0bb1aa2a

Using sn.exe utility:

sn -T YourAssembly.dll

or loading the assembly in Reflector.

If you have the DLL added to your project, you can open the csproj file and see the Reference tag.

Example:

<Reference Include="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, processorArchitecture=MSIL" />
