Delay signing on Compact Framework
I want to use delayed signing for my Windows mobile builds.
When you sign an assembly using lazy signing, it signs it with a public key and leaves room in the assembly for private keys that you can add just before submitting the assembly.
A delayed build cannot be run or debugged unless signing is complete or validation is enabled on this build on this computer.
sn -Vr assemblyName.dll
However, this is a Windows mobile app and I am not running build on my machine. I am running it on my Windows mobile device.
Is their way to run delayed subscription on Windows mobile devices or delayed signing is not supported?

Signature signing is not supported in the Compact Framework (at least not in 3.5).
Edit: To be more specific, while you can build it without a private key , there is no way to register the build on the device to skip verification. This way you can still sign the CF assembly when it is used on the desktop (since it is retargeted, this is an option). Not sure how helpful this would be.
