TitleWhen should gacutil.exe be used to register Connect for ADO.Net assemblies?
URL Namewhen-should-gacutil-exe-be-used-to-register-connect-for-ado-net-assemblies
Article Number000178924
EnvironmentProduct: Connect for ADO.Net Oracle driver
Version: 4.2
OS: Windows
Database: Oracle
Application: N/A
Question/Problem Description
A variety of problems may arise when switching versions of assemblies that are being used by an application. It is important to remember that once the Connect for ADO.Net provider assemblies are installed and registered, they are stored in the GAC (Global Assembly Cache).  If a different revision of the same assemblies are needed, the new set needs to be registered in the GAC.  Skipping this important step can lead to errors or unpredictable results.
Steps to ReproduceConnect to Oracle / Sybase with connection string containing BindDateTimeAsDate=TRUE.
DDTek.Oracle.dll File version 4.2.0.12606
DDTek.Sybase.dll File version 4.2.0.7505

Be sure to register each new set of assemblies with the gacutil.exe tool.  Typically, this is done by openning a Developer Command Prompt and performing the following command on each of the DLLs in the new set being used:

gacutil /if <assembly name>
