Refresh GAC after adding same version of DLL.

Question

Hi, 
When i update the GAC with the new DLL with same name and version number, it doesn't gets refreshed. 

I am aware my code is using OLD reference to the assembly from GAC. But i call the same DLL through an exe  and it works and picks up the latest. i have restarted IIS but still that doesn't work.

The assembly is having same name and verision. Is there any way i can refesh the Gac to refer the latest assembly.

Thanks for your help.

The correct way to clear the download cache is to use gacutil /cdl. IIS restarts or temporary file puurges will not work. Thinking about it some more, purging the temporary cache *may* work but not consistently...
