    Automatic Reference Update

    Hello is there a way to configure an assembly to use the latest version of a
    referenced assembly without recompiling assuming the interface has not
    changed?

    Thanks,

    Dan

    Hi Dan,

    Assuming that the referencing assembly is an application (exe) file and the
    refereced assembly is a library (dll) file, I believe you should be able to
    simply overwrite the old dll with the new one.

      Kevin,

      From my research it appears that what you stated will not work without a
      change to one of the policy files for Application, Publisher or Machine.
