I've got a control I need to release as both a regular and strong
named version. The problem I'm running into is that it seems without
creating a new project file and assemblyinfo.cs file I don't see a way
I can compile both as a build one after the other. Are there any
command line arguments or something I can use when compiling to keep
me from having to add a new csproj and cs file?

You can use a preprocessor directive in the AssemblyInfo file such as....

#define STRONGNAME << at the top of the AssemblyInfo.cs file

.....

.....

#if STRONGNAME
[assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("my_keyfile.snk")]

#else
[assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("")]

#endif

When you don't want the strong named version just comment out the initial
#define directive.

ohhh! that's a great idea. Even though it's a cs file it didn't
occur to me that I could preprocessor it. thanks, I'll do just that!
