hi,
i am using two versions of a particular dll cust.ll.
how do i make a class file to refer the two versions of cust.dll.

eg:
version one :
using System;
using System.Reflection;

[assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("test.txt")]
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("2.0.0.0")]

public class cust
{
public void NameTwo()
{

Console.WriteLine("testing assembly from version two");
}
}

sn -k test.txt
csc /t:library cust.dll
gacutil -i cust.dll

==================================
version two :
using System;
using System.Reflection;

[assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("test.txt")]
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("3.0.0.0")]

public class cust
{
public void NameThree()
{

Console.WriteLine("testing assembly from version three");
}
}

sn -k test.txt
csc /t:library cust.dll
gacutil -i cust.dll

===================================

client file

using System;
public class Client
{
public static void Main()
{
cust obj = new cust();
obj.NameTwo();
obj.NameThree();
}
}

csc /r:cust.dll client.cs

when i execute this i am getting the following error:
'cust' does not contain a definition for NameTwo

You can reference both assemblies separately (csc /r:alias=assembly)
and by using the extern alias statement.

This, however, will not work. You'll have two separate cust types, and
you can only call NameTwo on one and NameThree on the other.
