I downloaded source code for pdfiumviewer from git hub. I made changes to one of the projects in that solution.Then I added that project to my application and added reference of that project to one my application's project.I had to uncheck the Signing option for the PDfiumViewer project, as some of the dll in that project are unsigned.I am able to build the application successfully.But at run time when I create an object of one of the class of PDfiumviewer project.It gives me the following error:

Could not load file or assembly 'PdfiumViewer, Version=2.11.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

The version number of the assembly is correct.So, why am I getting this error?

c#
manifest
.net-assembly
pdfium

The problem was that I had added reference of old unmodifed PdfiumViewer dll to another project.Hence, there was conflict between the two dlls (old and customized) at runtime.I removed the old dll reference and it worked.
