Way to globally change .NET dll reference throughout LabVIEW project?

[EduNI]

I have a LabVIEW project that utilizes a .NET dll.  There are .NET constructor, .NET invoke nodes, .NET property nodes and Reg Event Callback functions throughout. Now I need to update the code to use a newer version of the .NET dll.  I'm faced with tediously finding and changing these manually.  Is there a way to point LV to the newer dll and have it automatically use that in place of the older one?

Assuming that the interface to the dll is the same (signatures etc.) and the assembly filename has not changed:

1. Shut-down LabVIEW
2. Replace the old .NET assembly with the new one on disk. Do not keep both.
3. Start up LabVIEW and open the project (you are using a project, right? If not; there is your problem).
4. Mass-compile the VIs
5. Open one of the VIs and check the assemblies in memory to verify that the .Net assembly version is correct

Is there a way to do this if the assembly filename has changed?
