Assembly Binding

[Willie Sakai]

Two questions:

1. Does the compact framework support app.config files
to redirect a dependent assembly to a different version
of the assembly?

2. Does the compact framework support publisher policy
files to redirect clients from a GAC assembly to a
different, but compatible GAC assembly?

I have tried both of these approaches on a PocketPC 2000
device, but can't get either to work.

Thanks for the reply.

Does the compact framework support ANY mechanism
for changing the binding to a dependent assembly
DLL? Perhaps machine.config?

If I fix a bug in a common DLL used by several
EXEs, it seems silly to have to patch all the
EXEs when the only change is in the EXE
assembly manifest.
