Assembly binding

[Avi]

My .Net c# app must work with ArlDbAccess assembly version 17.0.0.2.
I want to get an error when this assembly isn't installed on the system.
The sample below doen't work ... what am I missing
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="ArlDbAccess"
publicKeyToken="b482d26a27af5b2d"
culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="17.0.0.2"
newVersion="17.0.0.2"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
Tanks,
Avi
