GAC Problem: Keep getting old version

Question

I've created a simple httpModule, registered it on GAC and added it to the global web.config.

I've made some changes to the module, updated the version and changed it also on the web.config.

What happens is that i keep getting the old version. I've restarted the computer, removed it from the GAC, deleted the consumer app .net temp files, but still the consumer app render the old html code from the httpModule.

Any thoughts on what the hell is happening?

Answer 1

Is it possible you have an older version lying around in your bin folder? Another alternative is that some other code is comipled against the older version. If all else fails you can use bindingRedirect to force your new version.

Answer 2

Don't use the GAC.

Simple, any dependencies you have should be binary deployed to avoid versioning issues.
