Question:
Can I use two different versions of the same assembly in a single application? if yes then how?

Any thought would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Re: Why only shared assemblies be added to GAC ? Why one should not add my private assembly into GAC
b'coz assemblies from GAC will load faster

Installing assemblies to the GAC requires more effort and has stricter requirements (cannot use XCOPY, must be signed, etc.) But if you want to install your private assembly into the GAC, that's fine too.

Can you please let me know what are the possible ways available to identify which version of assembly does application uses or to ensure whether the application is using prompt version of assembly in case of multiple version of assemblies in production environment, other than checking web.config file.

For example : Suppose Application A has to use older version of assembly 1.0.0.0 and Application B has to use newer version of assembly 1.0.1.0.Wants to ensure Application A is still using version 1.0.0.0 even after newer version added to GAC.

Re: If multple versions of assembly are created. How to refer a older and newer version assembly in my application.

Your application will target whichever assembly you build it with. You can choose which version to build to when you Add Reference to the assembly in your Visual Studio project. If you add a reference to the old assembly, that's the version your application will target when it runs.
