dotnet clr : .NET Assemblies versions

What happens when on a .NET 2.0 application you reference a third party
assembly that itself references the 1.0 versions of the .NET CL? (e.g.
mscorlib 1.0, System.dll 1.0, etc.).

Does the CLR automatically rebind those references to point to the 2.0
versions? I've tested this on a machine that doesn't have the 1.0 nor 1.1
versions installed and the application runs fine.

Thanks,
Juan

Yes. Search for "assembly unification" in the docs for more details.
