are assembly bindings ignored for PublicKeyToken=null?
.net, c#
Solution
Yes, they are ignored for assemblies that are not strong named (have a publicKeyToken) since the CLR ignores version numbers for these assemblies.
See this MSDN page for more information.
Problem
I have the following in my `app.config`. ``` <configuration> <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"> <probing privatePath="bin2" /> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="Foo" culture="neutral" publicKeyToken="null"> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-3.0.0.0" newVersion="3.0.4497.27619" /> </assemblyIdentity> </dependentAssembly> </assemblyBinding> ... <configuration> ``` Fusion logging tells me that it's not looking in `bin2` for my assembly. LOG: Initial PrivatePath = NULL (and it never searches in `bin/Debug/bin2/Foo`) Is this a problem with not having a `publicKeyToken`?
