Attributes and Elements
The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.
Attributes
None.
Child Elements
Element |
Description |
---|---|
Container for compiler configuration elements; contains zero or more <compiler> elements. |
Parent Elements
Element |
Description |
---|---|
The root element in every configuration file used by the common language runtime and .NET Framework applications. |
Remarks
.NET Framework Version 2.0
The <system.codedom> element contains compiler configuration settings for language providers installed on a computer in addition to the default providers that are installed with the .NET Framework, such as the CSharpCodeProvider and the VBCodeProvider. The <compilers> element contains zero or more <compiler> elements. Each <compiler> element specifies the compiler configuration attributes for a specific language provider.
Developers and compiler vendors can add configuration settings to the machine configuration file (Machine.config) for a new CodeDomProvider implementation. Use the CodeDomProvider.GetAllCompilerInfo method to programmatically enumerate both the default language providers and language providers identified by the compiler configuration settings on a computer.
Note |
---|
In the .NET Framework versions 1.0 and 1.1, the default language providers supplied by the .NET Framework are identified in the <compilers> element. In the .NET Framework version 2.0, the default language providers are not identified in the <compilers> element, but can be enumerated using the GetAllCompilerInfo method. |
.NET Framework Versions 1.0 and 1.1
The <system.codedom> element contains the compiler configuration settings for language providers on a computer. The <compilers> element contains zero or more <compiler> elements. Each <compiler> element specifies the compiler configuration attributes for a specific language provider.
The .NET Framework defines the initial compiler settings in the machine configuration file (Machine.config). Developers and compiler vendors can add configuration settings for a new CodeDomProvider implementation. Use the CodeDomProvider.GetAllCompilerInfo method to programmatically enumerate language provider and compiler configuration settings on a computer.
Configuration File
This element can be used in the machine configuration file and the application configuration file.
Example
The following example illustrates a typical compiler configuration.
<configuration>
<system.codedom>
<compilers>
<!-- zero or more compiler elements -->
<compiler
language="c#;cs;csharp"
extension=".cs"
type="Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider, System,
Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"
compilerOptions=""
warningLevel="1" />
</compilers>
</system.codedom>
</configuration>
