Hi Andrew,

You can use Activator.CreateInstance and specify the desired version of the
assembly in the assembly name argument of the corresponding method overload.

Hello,

When I call a class in a dll from an application, how
do I tell the version of the dll as oposed to the application
calling the dll?

You can use the 'FileVersionInfo' class to get the version number of a DLL.

Andrew,

If you have a System.Reflection.Assembly reference for the assembly,
you can check the version with Assembly.GetName().Version.
