Assembly redirection in .NET

[KarthikonIT]

Hello,
I m creating a C# .NET Project in which i m trying to load third party Assemblies which are installed in GAC.

But in some machines I m getting an error stating "Unable to Load assembly of specified version 7.0.351.0".

when i tried to do an assembly redirection it didn't work it still shows the same error.

Note:
7.0.351.0 - Is the version with which it is compiled.

12.0.0.0 - Assembly present in the Target machine

Properties of Reference
Specific Version -> False

Aliases -> global

Copy Local -> False



This is my sample application configuration file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<runtime>

<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" >

<dependentAssembly>

<assemblyIdentity

name="Act.Framework"

publicKeyToken="ebf6b2ff4d0a08aa" />

<bindingRedirect oldVersion="7.0.351.0"

newVersion="12.0.0.0" />


</dependentAssembly>

</assemblyBinding>

</runtime>

</configuration>

I have not placed the assemblies in application path, I just want it to redirect to the version present in the GAC(12.0.0.0).

How do I Proceed with this?

Thanks in Advance.

Check the culture of the assembly and the architecture, it can matter. Also, try to use FUSLOGVW.exe to see more detailed error message (it is part of VS or SDK).
