Hi,

Is it possible to read data from a dll (such as version, public
token...), which has been created with VS 2005, with a program written
in VS 2003.
When I try to load the assembly (using reflection) it says that
"Version 2.0 is not a compatible version."

Thx

Yes, but not using Reflection, since Reflection first loads the
assembly. You have to use another library or write your own parser.
