Struggling with Azure SDK Samples –> use Microsoft.ServiceBus.dll Version 1.6! or still 1.5?

Got some issues recently with the Azure SDK samples (e.g. RelayedConnectionSample with NetTcp, MulticastSample, etc.). SecurityExceptions were thrown, etc.

Until I noticed that the samples still reference the Microsoft.ServiceBus.dll in

• version 1.5.0.0 under c:\Program Files\Windows Azure AppFabric SDK\V1.5\Assemblies\NET4.0\ instead of the latest one
• version 1.6.0.0 which is now installed under C:\Program Files\Windows Azure SDK\v1.6\ServiceBus\ref

So you need to

1. change assembly references to Microsoft.ServiceBus 1.6.0.0
2. change .config settings to 1.6.0.0 to:

    <extensions>

      <bindingExtensions>

        <add name="netEventRelayBinding" type="Microsoft.ServiceBus.Configuration.NetEventRelayBindingCollectionElement, Microsoft.ServiceBus, Version=1.6.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />

      </bindingExtensions>

    </extensions>

  </system.serviceModel>

 

  <runtime>

    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">

      <dependentAssembly>

        <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.ServiceBus"

                          publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35"

                          culture="neutral" />

        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0"

                         newVersion="1.6.0.0"/>

      </dependentAssembly>

    </assemblyBinding>

  </runtime>

and it works again.

However, some of the samples did not with 1.6 but only with 1.5. Maybe I messed up with the latest SDK installation.
