I have an application that points to some resource files. I don’t want to modify that application but I need to update the resource file. However, the resources are compiled as part of that application. The potentially good news is that they are in a separate namespace within the application.
What I did is copy the resources into a separate assembly and named the namespace exactly the same, and incremented the version to be 2.0.0.0. Is it possible to use the web.config to do a bindingRedirect to use the newer resource assembly?
I figured out how to do. You can create an satellite assembly that matches all the same Assembly metadata information (namespace included) and then overwrite the existing “culture-specific” DLL in the existing compiled application folder.
