Azure Functions binding redirect

Question

Is it possible to include a web.config or app.config file in the azure functions folder structure to allow assembly binding redirects?

Answer 1

Inspired by the accepted answer I figured I'd do a more generic one which takes into account upgrades as well.

It fetches all assemblies, orders them descending to get the newest version on top, then returns the newest version on resolve. I call this in a static constructor myself.

public static void RedirectAssembly()
{
    var list = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()
        .Select(a => a.GetName())
        .OrderByDescending(a => a.Name)
        .ThenByDescending(a => a.Version)
        .Select(a => a.FullName)
        .ToList();
    AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve += (sender, args) =>
    {
        var requestedAssembly = new AssemblyName(args.Name);
        foreach (string asmName in list)
        {
            if (asmName.StartsWith(requestedAssembly.Name + ","))
            {
                return Assembly.Load(asmName);
            }
        }
        return null;
    };
}
