C# How to redirect assembly loading using application config file
- by Adi barda
Hi Guys,
I have an assembly with few versions registered in the GAC. Now, I want one of my clients which uses this assembly (version 1.3) to point to the newest version (1.4) without opening the source and recompiling the client.
I saw an article demonstrating a technique for doing so using the application config file (winform application)
here is the config file content :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration xmlns:asm="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<runtime>
<asm:assemblyBinding>
as you can see, there is a binding redirect from version 1.3.0.0 to 1.4.0.0 for assembly named MyFacade.
Now, there's only a Minor issue with this approach. It doesn't work :)
I'm sure it's something with my code.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Adi Barda
