If the updated Data Provider assembly and the policy assembly are deployed into the GAC, all of the applications on this system automatically begin to use the updated Provider.�
If you want to exclude a specific application from using this updated Data Provider, you can set up an application configuration file for this application that forces safe mode to override the Publisher policy file.
Data Provider consists of two core files: Sybase.Data.AseClient.dll and sybdrvado11.dll.
Multiple versions of Sybase.Data.AseClient.dll can
be installed in the GAC. The sybdrvado11.dll,
however, is not installed in the GAC and is located at runtime using
the system PATH. This file is installed in the Data Provider installation
directory. Sybase could change the name or version string for this
DLL in upgrade releases. For example in the 1.0 release this file
was called aseado.dll and in 1.1 release it
is called sybdrvado11.dll. When such an update
is installed, do not delete the older version of this file unless
Data Provider versions using this file are removed from the GAC. Otherwise
applications attempting to use the older version of the provider
will fail.�
