How to fix managed c++ assembly referencing specific NuGet package delivered dll version (VS2017)

Question

I am building a managed c++ dll (udnet.dll) that references a Nuget package delivered dll

packages.config

<packages>
  <package id="ForeignLanguage" version="2.0.5" allowedVersions="[2,3)" />
</packages>

When consumed in the full build the actual version of ForeignLanguage.dll is 2.0.6 as this has had a small bugfix since udnet.dll was built.

However when udnet.dll is loaded is fails because it is looking for 2.0.5

How can I build udnet.dll so it is not so fussy about the version of ForeignLanguage? I only really want it to fail if the major version mismatches. ie (2.0.0.0)

Answer 1

Issue was with the ForeignLanguage.dll, I had not set the AssemblyVersion to 2.0.0.0 in AssemblyInfo.cpp

#define VER_FILE_VERSION_STR STRINGIZE(GITVERSION_Major) \
"." STRINGIZE(GITVERSION_Minor) \
"." STRINGIZE(GITVERSION_Patch) \
".0"

#define VER_VERSION_STR STRINGIZE(GITVERSION_Major) \
".0.0.0"

[assembly:AssemblyVersion(VER_VERSION_STR)];
[assembly:AssemblyFileVersion(VER_FILE_VERSION_STR)];
