Config File(Professional Method): B4 tat, i would like to explain how CLR takes when you call code from a shared assembly: The CLR determines the correct version of the assembly to load by examining the applicable configuration files. The CLR checks to see whether the requested assembly has already been loaded. If it has, then the CLR binds to the loaded copy and stops searching. The CLR then checks for the requested assembly in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). If the assembly is in the GAC, then the CLR uses that copy and stops searching. The CLR next looks for a <CodeBase> element in the application's configuration file. If one is present, it checks that path for the assembly, loading it if found. If the requested assembly hasn't been located yet, the CLR proceeds to search for it as if it were a private assembly, following the rules from the previous section. the following one is used for this purpose, see the <bindredirect>, you can toggle your Assemblies. <?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <runtime> <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="MyCalledAssembly" publicKeyToken="0556152c9715d60f" /> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0" newVersion="1.1.0.0" /> </dependentAssembly> </assemblyBinding> </runtime> </configuration> Second Method(For empathize): Step #1: first unregister shfusion.dll using RegSvr32 -u shfusion.dll. Step #2: I hope, you installed your Two versions into GAC(for example., SampleTest.dll 1.0.0.1 and 1.0.0.2) Step #3: from Your first application, you can add refernce SampleTest.dll from the following path. c:\windows\assembly\GAC\SampleTest\1.0.0.1__e177fbe137b531e5\SampleTest.dll Note: Under this path, you can find Two folders., say.. 1.0.0.1__e177fbe137b531e5, 1.0.0.2__e177fbe137b531e5 Step #4: from Your Second application, you can add refernce SampleTest.dll from the following path. c:\windows\assembly\GAC\SampleTest\1.0.0.2__e177fbe137b531e5\SampleTest.dll I hope, this method will help you to understand the Side-By-Side Execution concept. but please prefer Config. file method for your development Thanx, Smith ----- Original Message ----- From: "Asmitha Santhiyar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: July 22, 2005 6:31 PM > Hi Smith, > > > I seen your post on "Side-By-Side Execution" on BDOTNET, it was really superb, i want to implement the same in my project. > > Your inputs highly appreciated. > > > regards > Asmitha > > > View other groups in this category.
