Assembly Resolver, Side by Side, Versioning

I have read that you can specify only the major/minor numbers (plus token and
culture) to reference a DLL installed in the GAC, and that the resolver will
"upselect" to the dll with the latest build and revision number. Is this
true?

However, when I add references in the compilation section of the web.config
of an ASP.NET app, it can not find the DLL in the GAC unless I give it the
build and revision number. I would rather not do this and just reference the
major and minor for configuration management reasons. What is up here? Is
this becausee the compiler needs the fully qualified path?

Thanks.

I'm working on a client-server application where the client is controlling two devices (aka servers) which both implement the same interface contract. We have a set of about 4 assemblies which specify the interfaces and the data types which flow through the interfaces. Initially, we thought this would be enough for the client to talk with the server. In general it is, but when an exception is generated by the server it fails to...

Suppose that I have a class in an assembly that is delivered to the user, what can I do to change the class so that it doesn't break the binary compatibility? That is, user application can run with recompiling and relinking. I know that if I define an interface, and only expose the interface but not the class which implments the interface, I can add a data member to the class without breaking the binary compatibility. If the class...

Just a question. If i have an app with a dll version 1.5 and I replace it with version 1.6 everithing works fine. If i change the strong name however the app crash, but this is fine. My curiosity is then: the various System, System.data and so on are signed? If so, how can the mono project prot them without having the private key? this is just for curiosity, no real need, Thanks!

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to maintain compatability with assemblies providing the interfaces remains the same? At the moment if I re-compile an assembly without actually changing an interface it breaks compatability, forcing all of my consuming assemblies to need recompiling. I know this could be done with VB6, what about .NET? Nick.

I've been using the date (in YMMDD) format for the build number in the AssemblyVersion attribute. However, it appears that numbers 65534 are invalid!! Bit of a bummer for 2007!!! Is there a reason for this? 65535 would make sense!? Is there a work around, patch, etc?? Regards

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
