Abstract
Shared libraries and references within the shared libraries can be retargeted in accordance with optional transformation rules. The optional transformation rules can be applied differently for different binding contexts. For user-code scenarios, optional retargeting binding rules can be applied automatically by default without requiring any human intervention. Optional targeting that triggers automatic binding behaviors can be disabled based on heuristics. Alternatively, the user can specify in the code or in a configuration file if the source or target is to be loaded. Transformation rules can be disabled based on heuristics. A manual option permits a user to choose at runtime whether the transformation is to be applied, or not applied, in a late-bound fashion.
