How can I make my project pick up the latest .dll?

I am trying to do a build of an application against the latest .dll file for a library but the compiler insists on trying to load an
older version : Graphics2D.dll(1.0.2142.164) instead of Graphics2D.dll(1.0.2142.3790)

Is there an easy way to fix this problem?


Thanks,

Check if you are adding the reference to the right assembly (latest). If you
are also developing Graphics2d.dll, use the project reference option of
VS.NET, so you wouldnt have the hassle of copying over the latest dlls to
the bin folder. Is Graphics2d.dll depolyed in the GAC?

I am using MS VS C#2005 Express at the moment and I can't find anywhere that I can delete the existing reference. I finally managed
to get the project to pick up the .dll and the program seems to run fine but the compiler still complains that it cannot find the
old version.

How do I see what is in the GAC?

The problem all stemmed from when I deleted all the graphics2D.dll files and did a rebuild. Even when I did a complete rebuild it
would sometimes create the new dll with an old timestamp.

Maybe there are options missing in the Express version I don't know. I usually use the Prof version but I haven't managed to get a
copy of the new 2005 version yet.


thanks,
steve
