The type 'xxx' is defined in an asembly that is not referenced

Question

As I recently updated a custom dll to version 1.0.3483.0, when I included that dll in the project, it required version 1.0.3478.

What are the steps I need to follow in order to update the dll in a project?

VS 2015 Error

dll file version

The dll was removed and added, and the project was unloaded and reloaded, but it still does not work.

You should be able to use bindingRedirect to use the specified version.

For example:

<configuration>
    <runtime>
       <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
          <dependentAssembly>
             <assemblyIdentity name="myAssembly"
                               publicKeyToken="32ab4ba45e0a69a1"
                               culture="neutral" />
             <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0"
                              newVersion="2.0.0.0"/>
          </dependentAssembly>
       </assemblyBinding>
    </runtime>
</configuration>
