How to force download assembly?

Question

I developed a console utility that performs some operations with a server application. Due to the nature of the server application I'm working with, I need to run this utility on the server.

The problem is that the utility refers to a shared DLL that was previously deployed to the GAC server. Since the deployment of the common DLL, it has been updated, and my utility uses these updates. I cannot update the DLL in the GAC due to company policy regarding deployment.

By default, my utility will use an obsolete DLL in the GAC. Is there a way to force it to use the updated DLL (for example, by specifying a path in the file system)?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, the GAC tends to play a trump card - but if you change the version, then the GAC solution should fail (if you have a "Specific version" set to true in the IDE), which allows you to download the local version?

Answer 2

Does the updated DLL not have a new version number? I would expect that if you make the link use the correct version number, it should pick up the local one.

Assembly .
