I've upgrade to VistaDB 4.1 but when I try to execute my application I get an error telling me that the VistaDB 4.0 DLL could not be found. Why is that? Do I need to wait for an upgrade from you to use VistaDB 4.1? Thanks. Andrea |

We build against VistaDB 4.0, so for this to work seamlessly we will need to rebuild against 4.1. However, you can map our 4.0 dependency to your 4.1 DLL by using a binding redirect in your app.config/web.config file. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/twy1dw1e%28VS.80%29.aspx for more info. |

Do you plan to release a new version that is supporting VistaDB 4.1 directly? If I use the approach you suggested, do I need to distribute the app.config file with my application? (I prefer not to do that). Thanks. Andrea |

Hi Andrea, We will support it at some stage - lets keep in mind it has only been out about 12 hours now ;-) You would need to distribute your app config with your application. I'm impressed you manage to not use one at the moment! John-Daniel |

Hmm, apparently they changed the name of the data provider class, which means the binding redirect probably won't work after all (at least not without some extra magic). We'll have a think about how we can tackle this and will get back to you as soon as possible. |

Okay, on further investigation, the announcement that they'd changed the provider name was a bit misleading. They've changed the lookup key in machine.config, but not any of the actual DLL or class names. So the binding redirect should work as previously discussed. |

Just to let everyone know, we will be switching over to VistaDB 4.1 in the 24 August nightly build, which will be available from about 1500 GMT. |
