execution
<Configuration>
<runtime>
<assemblyIdentity name="ABCD" publicKeyToken="Sometoken"
culture="neutral" />

<bindingRedirect
oldVersion="1.0.0.0-99999.99999.99999.99999"
newVersion="1.0.1445.38584" />

OfCource sachine ,what u had written is correct,

if u adding System.Web.ui namespace, Namespace contain more
than one dll also,that Each dll has its own version and
they are now runnig in same time.

versions runnig at the same time
