Specify which assembly to load

I have assembly A.dll installed in the global assembly cache. I have also
the source code for assembly A.dll and assembly is included in the one of my
project.



I can not debug my application and step into functions and classes in the
assembly A. I can step into only when I remove assembly A.dll from the
global assembly cache.



I tried to use codeBase configuration element in the app.config but seems
that runtime always load one from cache.



Here is my codeBase element:





<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<configuration>


<runtime>


<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">


<dependentAssembly>


<assemblyIdentity name="A.dll" version="2.0.0.0"

publicKeyToken="rzu13872c919c214" culture="neutral"/>


<codeBase version="2.0.0.0" href="file:///D:/MyProject
/bin/Debug/A.dll"/>


</dependentAssembly>

</assemblyBinding>


</runtime>

</configuration>



Thanks in advance

Hello Sanjin,

I recommend to read this article to understand how the CLR locates assemblies
