Problem :

I am trying to run some of the unit tests in the C# Windows Forms application (Visual Studio 2005), however I am facing the below error :

System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Utility, Version=1.2.0.200, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=764d581291d764f7' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)**

When I try to look in my references, and I can only have the reference to Utility version 1.2.0.203.

Any pointers on how can I figure out what is trying to reference the old version of my DLL file?

Solution :

First, try to use the Windows file search to search the hard drive for the assembly (.dll). Once you get the list of results, please do View->Choose Details. and after that check "File Version". This will help you in displaying the version number in the list of results, so you can clearly see where the old version is coming from.

Second, try to check the GAC to know what version is listed there. This Microsoft article states that the assemblies found in your GAC are not copied locally during the build, so you must need to remove your old version before doing a rebuild all.

Hope this solves your issue.
