Why is assembly binding redirect not working in my web site?

Viewed 10391

I have a web site project that I run from Visual Studio using the built in development web server. The virtual path of the web site is set to /

The web.config contains a runtime element with

<runtime>
  <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity name="CMS.Controls" publicKeyToken="834b12a258f213f9" culture="neutral" />
      <bindingRedirect oldVersion="4.1.3518.21577" newVersion="4.1.3561.21846" />
    </dependentAssembly>
  </assemblyBinding>
</runtime>

I have already removed the xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0" attribute from the root configuration element.

Here is the error:

Could not load file or assembly 'CMS.Controls, Version=4.1.3518.21577, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=834b12a258f213f9' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

Here is the log of the binding:

The operation failed.

Seems to me like it's ignoring my redirect. I've been looking at it for an hour, do I have a typo or something?
