.Net DLL instances.....

When a DLL is referenced (say an XP DLL), is there a way to keep that
version available to your .Net application so that it is not overwritten by
Microsoft updates?

IF you place the DLL in your EXE's folder will it use that DLL before
searching the system or registry for another DLL?

not really. Most of the microsoft dlls are not managed code, so moving them
around will not help.
You cannot distribute your app with an XP dll either.

What feature are you concerned will be overwritten by Microsoft?
