References not updating

I am referencing another dll from within a class library and it seems to
allways be looking for an older build version of the reference. I have tried
removing and re-adding the reference but to no avail. Originally I was
referencing the dll and so tried adding the project and referencing that but
still no luck. Any ideas? If I use reflector on the assembly it tells me
the reference is the correct version, but I get an excpetion when executing
that it can not find version x (the old version) Any ideas greatly
appreciated!

Many Thanks,

Paul

What's the exeptions details?

Are u sure that you didn't change the path (in the config )of the assemblies
probing, and your dll is on the right place?

PM> Any ideas greatly appreciated!

Change if you have any old version of referenced assembly into GAC

I suspect you are using VS 2003... Change the assembly version in the
AssemblyInfo.vb file to be fixed (1.0.0.2, e.g.) instead of wild carded
sections (*'s).
