Using diferrent version of binary in Umbraco 4.5

Question

Hi all,

I'm trying to integrate Umbraco 4.5 and Mailchimp .NET API wrapper.

I'm running into problems because Umbraco uses CookComputing.XmlRpcV2.dll which is version 2.00 whereas Mailchimp API uses same binary but version 2.4

If I replace Umbraco binary with newer version, the admin area stops working (you can log in but all the content trees are empty)

Anyone have any ideas how I can use both or update Umbraco to use new version?

Thanks!

Actually, it can be done, but I don't have a setup handy to code-and-test for you...

The instructions are located on MSDN, under Redirecting Assembly Versions, and How the Runtime Locates Assemblies.

With a bit of reading, you should be able to redirect one or the other application's assemblies so that they do not conflict.
