URGENT | Framework version problem

[Guest]

We currently have 2 versions of the 1.1 framework being used in our project.
The problem that comes up is really complex. We have certain controls that
behave in contrasting fashions if run on different machines (having different
versions of the f/w). Not only that, at times i even end up getting certain
build errors like:

Error: The dependency 'Managers, Version=1.0.2130.17591, Culture=neutral' in
project 'PresentationValidators' cannot be copied to the run directory
because it would conflict with dependency 'Managers, Version=1.0.2125.39306,
Culture=neutral'.

Moreover, this problem also creeps up very randomly, so we can't even
reproduce it if wanted, at will. The versions we currently have are:
1.1.4322.573 and 1.1.4322.2032

Could somebody please shed some light on what can be done now?

Cheers!
Nick

1.1.4322.573 and 1.1.4322.2032

those are the same version, with different file versions. THe assembly
versions are the same, 1.0.5000.0

The problem you're running into is with your own code, signed
assemblies. If possible, use a different buildnumber scheme, like
1.0.0.0, and manually increase that number when necessary and use
assemblyfileversion to crank up the fileversion number with each build.
This way your users can store a single version in the gac, the latest
fileversion, and be happy.

Frans,
Thanks for your reply. Actually we have figured that, a datagrid custom
control is not behaving consistently for different machines. We found out
that the version number of the installed .net framework mscorlib.dll are
different as mentioned by Nick, i.e. 1.1.4322.573 and 1.1.4322.2032, which
means the revision number is different for these frameworks.

Can, you please suggest why it would happen, and as you mentioned how would
the assembly version of our code bother thhis behaviour.

Also, installing the application from the same msi causes this problem.

Thanks,
Vinay Kant
