strongly named assembly issue

Oct 27 2008 2:51 AM

Hello everyone,


I have one confusion about strongly named assembly.

Suppose I am developing a library (DLL), and other application is linked with it (reference to the library DLL), my purpose is not to make the dependent application rebuild if I do not change the interface exposed to the application.

(i.e. if I just changed the implementation of the exposed interface and keep interface the same, application developer just need to copy my new library DLL, all other changes are transparent to application, and no need to rebuild.)

My question if I made the DLL strongly named, even if I keep the exposed interface the same (just change interface implementation), the application needs to rebuild? Why?


thanks in advance,
George
