I'd like to change the identity of a dll, that is, if you look at the identity property in Visual studio, I'd like it to have a different name there. The reason I need to do this is because I have two dlls of different versions, and need to use them in the same application. I have looked into setting the alias property to something different (following this guide), but it did not work right, so I'd like to change the dll, so the application sees it as something different. Any help is appreciated.

I get this annoying error, and cannot figure it out no matter how much I google it: The extern alias '*******' was not specified in a /reference option – rmh Mar 11 '15 at 02:23
