title: How to prevent a .NET application from loading/referencing an assembly from the GAC?
body: <p>Can I configure a .NET application in a way (settings in Visual Studio) that it references a "local" assembly (not in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Assembly_Cache" rel="noreferrer">GAC</a>) instead of an assembly within the GAC, although both assemblies have the same name and the same version? </p>
