DLL compatibility issue

A

Atchoum

Hi,

I create plugins for a program. My programs are DLL that references
different DLLs from the master program. Every time they release a new update
to the master program, my DLLs fail saying that the version of the
referenced DLLs is not the one expected. I then need to recompile all my
DLLs with the new version of the master program's DLLs. Is there any way
that I can make my DLL automatically accept newer versions of the master
programs?

TIA.

An application configuration file, machine configuration file, or a
publisher policy file can redirect one version of an assembly to another.

Usage:
.. The machine configuration file overrides all other settings. This is only
to be used in rare occasions such as testing.
.. The publisher policy file overrides the application configuration file,
unless the application configuration file states that this is not allowed.
The publisher policy file comes with the .dll file.
.. The application configuration file overrides the manifest of the program.
By default, the manifest states to use the version of the .dll with which
the program was compiled.
