Troubleshooting .NET Deployment - How the .NET Runtime Locates Assemblies

This is a summary of the msdn article focusing on deployment of .NET applications. To quote directly (capitalisation for emphasis):  "to SUCCESSFULLY deploy your .NET Framework application, you MUST understand HOW the CLR locates and BINDS to the assemblies that make up your application".

Additionally, the runtime, "BY DEFAULT, attempts to bind to the EXACT VERSION of an assembly that the application was BUILT WITH". It then adds that this behaviour can be overwritten in configuration settings.
