Can't Create Asymmetric Key

I'm trying to get my first clr stored procedure going.
I believe I was able to create the clr stored procedure in visual studio,
set 'clr enabled' on the server, create an assembly, create an sp based on
the external name, and finally EXEC it from T-SQL to call it. When I call it
,
I get the System.Security.HostProtectionException below.
I read the documentation, and decided I needed to create an asymmetric key
to give myself permission to execute the clr stored procedure. I tried the
following in SS Management Studio:
CREATE ASYMMETRIC KEY SQLCLRTestKey FROM EXECUTABLE FILE =
'D:\ClrStoredProcedures\ClrStoredProcedu
res.dll'
This generates the following error:
Msg 15208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The certificate, asymmetric key, or private key file does not exist or has
invalid format.
Any suggestions on how to create the asymmetric key? The error seems to be
saying that I can't create the key because I don't already have one.
Thanks

.Hi Randy,
Welcome to use MSDN Managed Newsgroup Support.
From your description, my understanding is: you want to create a CLR stored
procedure and get the System.Security.HostProtectionException error.
If I misunderstood your concern, please feel free to point it out.
Based on my experience, the System.Security.HostProtectionException error
most related to your CLR code.
Please first try to follow the step in the SQL 2005 Books Online to create
a CLR stored procedure and deploy it to the database to check if this issue
is related to your code.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms255336.aspx
If you can successfully deploy the stored procedure, would you please post
your CLR stored procedure here so that I could provide further assistance?
If you have installed Visual Studio 2005, you can create a SQL Server
Project and create a CLR stored procedure and then Deploy it to your
database. You may try this method to check if this issue appeared.
Sincerely,
Wei Lu

Here's the URL for an article I wrote to help with this kind of thing. Its
the same idea the BOL covers, but in more tutorial fashion.
http://www.sqljunkies.com/WebLog/kt...op.com/ktegels/|||You first make a assembly using CREATE ASSEMBLY statement.
And your guery must modify FROM clause.
ASSEMBLY Assembly_Name
