Updating an assembly

[chak]

This must be an old question. If i develop an application in .NET, which
consists of multiple assemblies, and this is deployed, and i make a change
to one of the projects, is it enough if just that assembly is copied to the
production server ? Will the calling assembly reject the new version of the
assembly ?

Thanks,

Chak.

It depends on if you change the assembly version number or not. If you
keep the same version number it should just work. If you increment the
version you need to either recompile the calling assemblies or use
binding redirect or publisher policy to tell the application to use
the new version.
