I'm afraid I have only ever done this as a major upgrade, I don't think it should matter.

I will not be making any assembly version changes because it will break all the other references and I do not want to have multiple versions in the GAC. only the file version will be changed. any idea? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
