Hello All,
I tried posting this once already, but I don't think it
was ever posted, so I apologize for a potential double-
post.
Here is my problem: I have references for Crystal
Decisions DLLs. I need to remove the current references
which are an old version and replace them with the new
versions. I remove the references to the old version and
then add references to the new version. Everything is
fine until I rebuild my project. Once I rebuild, the new
version references get overridden with the original, old
version references. Does anyone have any ideas on what
causes this?

Thank you,
Benno
 
Man, that was a huge headache. I think I ended up uninstalling VS.NET 2002
and 2003, and then reinstalling 2003.

Are you doing a web app or winform app? If you're doing a web app, you'll
have to change the references in the web.config file and you might have to
change the code at the top of the aspx files that have reports as well. It's
a huge pain in the butt. Crystal did a really bad job in the migration area.

Hi Pete,
I checked the web.config file and the other aspx files,
but the code contains the correct version for the
references. Do you have any other last resort ideas
before I uninstall and reinstall everything?

Thanks,
Benno
 
Have you given your app a strong name yet? If so, try
removing it (can one do that?) and then re-assign the
references.
