Loading multiple versions of the same assembly

by

If both assemblies are compatible you can define in the app.exe.config or web.config file to always use the new version by declaring bindingRedirect .

example

<configuration>
  <runtime>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" appliesTo="v1.0.3705">
        <dependentAssembly>
            <assemblyIdentity name="Regcode" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture=""/>
            <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-65535.65535.65535.65535" newVersion="1.0.3300.0"/>
        </dependentAssembly>
    </assemblyBinding>
  </runtime>
</configuration>

this config entry for dotnet 1.0 tells the asembly loader always to use version 1.0.3300.0 no matter what is compiled into the calling exe. The same is possible with newer dotnet versions
