I had a problem with assembly redirection in web.config, when i wrote assembly redirection in the machine.config it worked perfectly, where as when I wrote it in the web.config it didn't work
| Problem: |
|
When you try to do assembly redirection in the web.config with a project created using visual studio 2005, it doesn't work, but in machine.config it does
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="TestLibrary" publicKeyToken="c417d4d39ba0d6b2" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0" newVersion="1.1.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime> |
| Solution: |
| it's this line: <configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0"> at the beginning of the web.config .NET automatically creates the xmlns tag and sets it to http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0, apparently this is what was causing the problem in my application, i removed the xmlns tag, i.e. I had it written as: <configuration> and everything worked great |
