Question Strong names and Specific Version References

[jmartin_garcia]

Hi all,
I'm using strong names assemblies. All the references are marked as "Specific Version = False".
Now, assembly A (version 2.0.0.2) references assembly B (version 2.0.0.2) but assembly B has been upgraded to version 2.0.0.3. Assembly A has NOT been rebuild.

The application loads assembly A by reflection successfully but when an object from assembly A is being created I got the error message that the assembly B version 2.0.0.2 cannot be found.

Does the fact I'm using strong names force me to always reference at build time the correct version for all assemblies?

Thanks for the help

Redirecting Assembly Versions
As you can see, strong name is a requirement for version redirects.
"Specific Version" is a compile time only directive.
