I'm an Installer developer for a company that's to expand its use of Telerik. A version of one of our apps has a set of Silverlight-related Telerik DLLs. Another new app which I'm tasked with packaging has another set of WPF-related Telerik DLLs. Some of these DLLs have identical names (such as Telerik.Windows.Controls) but don't appear to be identical; at least they have different version information. My questions are this: Are they just different version of what is functionally the same DLL? If so, are they truly backward-compatible, e.g., if one app uses an older set of Telerik binaries, and than another app which uses a newer set of the same binaries is deployed on the same box (and same folder!) will the older app continue to work?
Thanks!
Thanks!
