Compilation warning with MS13 dll in Visual Studio 2015

[truecool]

Hi,

We have an application built with Visual Studio 2015. This was migrated from Measurement Studio 2013 to Measurement Studio 2015 but used dlls were not updated to match MS2015.

We have following three dlls from MS13 and it all works fine.

Name ----------------------------- Version

NationalInstruments.Analysis.Enterprise.dll 13.0.45.242

NationalInstruments.Common.dll 13.0.40.188

NationalInstruments.NiLmClientDLL.dll 13.0.40.188

problem starts when I add following two MS13 dlls to my project

NationalInstruments.UI.dll 13.0.45.282

NationalInstruments.UI.Styles3D.dll 13.0.45.282

I start getting compilation error for version mistach with system installed MS15 Dlls

 Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State

How to avoid conflict between application's MS13 dll and system installed MS15 dlls?
