Hi there,

I'm involved in a quite big project in C#/NET 2.0, with at least 50 VStudio
2005 projects.We don't use the GAC, and we tackling with all the DLL
references is messy. We often don't have the right version of the
dynamically loaded DLL.

I wonder if the situation will be the same if we have made the choice to use
the GAC ?

Cheers
 
Hello Oriane,

you need to have the strogly signed assemby to put it to GAC, so you allways
will have the uniqie name of your assembly.
So it helps you with your dll hell

Our assemblies are already strongly signed.
But do you mean that in the GAC the assembly name includes the version
(something like *.1.2.113.2.dll) ?
