Updating the GAC

I would like to update the stimulsoft dll's in my project to utilize some of the new features, but I am having trouble updating my GAC.

Could you provide a brief walkthrough of the process?

I read that you create a textfile with a .gac extension and put the path of the DLL's in it and that is supposed to update the GAC but I have done that and copied the new dll's into the stimulsoft folder. I have also deleted the references to the dll's in my application then re-added them. Now I am recieving an error that says that several decalarations are ambiguous to the namespace Stimulsoft.Report . (StiReport) :brick:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks and Regards,
Arthur

Hello,

Please check following places:
1. GAC
2. Program files (you should use Stimulsoft/Bin folder)
3. References in your projects.

Thank you.

I have checked all of the places you have listed and the version numbers are the newest but when I try to compile my project with the newest dlls referenced, I still get the ambiguous errors.

Could you provide a list of steps that you use to update the dlls?

Hello,

Please check also Bin folders of your application. Sometimes VS create copies of assemblies in Bin folders (Copy Locals property of referenced assembly).

Thank you.
