[mapguide-users] Re: Again: strong naming of MapGuideDotNetApi.dll

[Jackie Ng]

The purpose of RFC68 is that if you're developing a new MapGuide application,
you only need to reference the specific OSGeo.MapGuide.*.dll assemblies you
actually need. You do not need to reference MapGuideDotNetApi.dll

For existing applications that reference the old MapGuideDotNetApi.dll, the
newer one just acts as a stub that points to the OSGeo.MapGuide.*.dlls. You
should not have to recompile your existing MapGuide applications in this
case.

MaestroAPI is built against a specific version of MapGuideDotNetApi.dll
(v2.0.0 I believe). The binding redirect trick is so you do not have to
recompile your application against the newer version of
MapGuideDotNetApi.dll

On second thought, this too may not even work for MGOS 2.2/MGE 2011,
especially if MaestroAPI uses APIs affected by RFC89
(http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/MapGuideRfc89). I'll have to double
check this.
