I had a problem with assembly redirection in web.config, when i wrote assembly redirection in the machine.config it worked perfectly, where as when I wrote it in the web.config it didn't work
| Problem: |
When you try to do assembly redirection in the web.config with a project created using visual studio 2005, it doesn't work, but in machine.config it does
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="TestLibrary" publicKeyToken="c417d4d39ba0d6b2" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0" newVersion="1.1.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime> |
| Solution: |
| it's this line: <configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0"> at the beginning of the web.config .NET automatically creates the xmlns tag and sets it to http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0, apparently this is what was causing the problem in my application, i removed the xmlns tag, i.e. I had it written as: <configuration> and everything worked great |
The ASP.NET Wiki was started by Scott Hanselman in February of 2008. The idea is that folks spend a lot of time trolling the blogs, googlinglive-searching for answers to common "How To" questions. There's piles of fantastic community-created and MSFT-created content out there, but if it's not found by a search engine and the right combination of keywords, it's often lost.
The ASP.NET Wiki articles moved to CodeProject in October 2013 and will live on, loved, protected and updated by the community.
