Hi all,

I have Frk.Log.dll in GAC and I use another Frk.Log.dll (in folder bin) with
the same signature (version and Key) in my project.

I need use Frk.Log.dll of bin folder.

Can anybody shed more light on how the /codebase option works and which
problem it is supposed to solve? Any experiences?

Any solutions please ??

Thanks in advanced, greetings and regards
 
From what I understand, .NET is designed to look in the BIN folder
before the GAC folder, so if you have the same DLL in both the BIN and
the GAC, the BIN version will be used.

You may need to check the references though and make sure it's not
explicitly pointing to the version of the DLL that is in the file
system that hosts the GAC version.

Hi,

Just wondering... if your assembly is of same signature, why does it
matters to you? AFAIK, codebase option usually use if you need to
reference a different version of assembly.
 
Hi All,
.Net will pick first dll from BIN folder,then search in GAC and after that search for folder if you providing dll into it.

In my project I don't have BIN folder and also I want pick dll's from my folder location insted of GAC and BIN.

Any solutions please ??
