Yes. An assembly is your unit of deployment, either an exe for a winform or console project or a dll for a Class library project.

You could choose to not specify the parent directory but then you would have to put the .snk file in the bin\debug folder and that's not very convenient. If the vs.net build process can't find the .snk file it will complain.

The idea is that you generate one public and one private key. You keep the private key somewhere safe like on one of those removable USB drives and store it in a safe place. When you sign a piece of code with your key you are saying "I am the author of this code and I am responsible for its behavior." If it causes a problem on the client's computer then they know who it was that caused the problem.

The public key is what gets distributed so you can be identified as the author of the code.
