Question

We have two version of the same assembly in GAC? I want my client
to make choice of which assembly to choose?

Answer 1

Try the following in your config file:

<configuration>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="clsLibVsn"
publicKeyToken="b035c4774706cc72"
culture="neutral"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion= "1.1.1830.10493"
newVersion= "1.0.1830.10461"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>

You need to specify “bindingRedirect” in your config file. For ins
in the above case “clsLibVsn” has two versions “1.1.1830.10493” and “1.0.1830.1
from which “1.1.1830.10493” is the recent version. But using the bindingRedirect we can s
saying “1.0.1830.10461” is the new version. So the client will not use “1.1.1830.10493”.
