.Net DLL version insight Required

Hi,

I have one query regarding .net assemblies. If we have Aseembly1 and Assembly2, where Assembly1 has a dependency on Assembly2 and both are build/deployed with version 2.0.0.0. Now if I do a patch in Assembly2 and deploy it with a version 2.0.0.1 version, will the Assembly1 will be able to load Assembly2?

I have tried doing this POC and no matter what version I give to Assembly2, Assembly1 is able to load it, I was expecting Assembly2 load to fail due to version conflict because Assembly1 is expecting Assembly2 to have version 2.0.0.0 but it has a diff assembly version. DLL's are not signed.

Please explain what am I missing here?

Thanks!
