Here's a catcher for all ya'll
I have a 3rd party .Net assembly which is compiled against .Net
framework 1.1 and is compatible with v1.0. However, there is not a
way to specify to use 1.0, unless I recompile it against v1.0
I have only .Net framework 1.0 installed.
I have an assembly that references the 3rd party .Net assembly.
I know from MSDN and other postings that a config file can be used
with only .exe and web apps to redirect/rebind which .Net framework to
use. This gets propogated down to the referenced assemblies too.
Is there a way to have my assembly (.dll) to do the exact same
behaviour? Utilize the .net framework v1.0 and propogate that down to
all the referenced assemblies? Including my 3rd party referenced
assembly which compiled against 1.1.
Upgrading to v1.1 Framework will not work becuase of the # of projects
using the v1.0 framework. If I upgrade then they all have to upgrade,
and then the servers have to be upgraded, test, and the list goes on
and on.
I heard of pilicy files in the GAC, but am not quite sure how signing
my assembly and putting that into the GAC will propogate down to any
of the referenced assemblies to use the v1.0 framework.
Any ideas?
