I'm attempting to upgrade (at last!) the log4net install on my ASP.NET (II7,
64 bit, Windows 2008) web site to log4net v1.2.11.0. The web app was
originally built with v1.2.0.30714. Unfortunately, simply replacing the
reference in my ASP.NET Bin directory results in the error:
Could not load file or assembly 'log4net, Version=1.2.0.30714,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b32731d11ce58905' or one of its
dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the
assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
Ironically, Log4Net dutifully records the attempt to bind to the obsolete
version fo log4Net:
=== Pre-bind state information ===
LOG: User = XXX (obscured)
LOG: DisplayName = log4net, Version=1.2.0.30714, Culture=neutral,

WRN: Comparing the assembly name resulted in the mismatch: Revision Number

terminated.
The relevant section of web.config is:
<section name="log4net"
type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" />
I've also attempted to strongly type the new log4Net, e.g.:
<section name="log4net"
type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net,
Version=1.2.11.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=669e0ddf0bb1aa2a" />
...as well as doing the above and installing the new assembly into the GAC.
Same error occurs.
Where the heck is IIS/ASP.Net storing the old version info so I can replace
it for this assembly?
Thanks!
