.net dll version issue when replacing one dll

Question

I have the following problem. I created software, containing several projects in one solution. When I fix a bug in one of my projects which doesn't change how functions behave, (For example a simple string change, or an extra try/catch block within a function) I must recompile and provide all my dll's again, because when I only provide the changed dll, the version doesn't match. I understand that the problem is due to the fact that my dll's are strongly named. But is there any way to accomplish that I can just replace the changed dll, while the version number is raised, without changing and distributing the other dll's?

You can have both dlls and can use bindingRedirect as in below link

<configuration>
   <runtime>
      <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
         <dependentAssembly>
            <assemblyIdentity name="AssemblyName"
                              publicKeyToken="32ab4ba45e0a69a1"
                              culture="neutral" />
            <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0"
                             newVersion="2.0.0.0"/>
         </dependentAssembly>
      </assemblyBinding>
   </runtime>
</configuration>
