Target a different .NET Framework version

[Mircea Pleteriu]

Hi,

I have developed for my customer a .NET Windows Forms control using the .NET
Framework 1.1.
Now, my customer wants to have the control running on Windows 2003 Server OS
which has a newer version (1.1.4322.2032) of the mscoree.dll assembly. The
development platform's assembly version is 1.1.4322.573.

How to tell the control to support the new version of mscoree.dll as long as
the class library which implements the control does not have its own
configuration file?

Thank you,
Mircea

You cannot control binding redirect at the service pack level via config
file.
It's up to you to make sure the control is compatible with the newer
version. If 1.1.4322.2032 is installed, it will run on that version whether
you like it or not.

You can control versioning if it runs on 1.0 or 1.1, but within 1.1 you have
no control over 573 or 2032.

I agree with Eric that you cannot control the version when compile. Anyway,
we can believe that application compiled with 1.1.4322.573 can run with
1.1.4322.2032. They are totally compatible.
