Assembly Redirects for Spatial4n.Core.NTS 0.3 and NetTopologySuite 1.13

[h0st1le]

I took your advice and looked into using an assembly redirect to get Spatial4n.Core.NTS 0.3.0.0 working with NetTopologySuite 1.13.2.0. The redirect is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <runtime>
      <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
        <dependentAssembly>
          <assemblyIdentity name="NetTopologySuite"
          publicKeyToken="f580a05016ebada1"
          culture="neutral" />
          <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-1.13.2.0" newVersion="1.13.2.0" />
        </dependentAssembly>
      </assemblyBinding>
    </runtime>
</configuration>

Unfortunately this solution does not work. The latest version of NetTopologySuite no longer is strong named. As such I don't see how I can redirect the versions. I enabled fusion in an attempt to get a detailed log of the failed binding, and noticed the following:

WRN: Comparing the assembly name resulted in the mismatch: PUBLIC KEY TOKEN

I thought of redirecting Spatial4n.Core.NTS but again if I compile from source, there is no strong name associated with the assembly, in addition it also retains the same version number. Maybe I'm attempting this is the wrong manner, ideas?

Try redirecting to the latest strong-named NTS version. I will release a spatial4n version which is not strongly named and is compiled against latest NTS soon.
