configuration The root element in every configuration file used by the common language runtime and .NET Framework applications.

Example

The following example shows how to use the <mscorlib> element to reference a cryptography class and to configure the runtime. You can then pass the string "RSA" to the CryptoConfig.CreateFromName method and use the Create method to return a MyCryptoRSAClass object.

<configuration>  
   <mscorlib>  
      <cryptographySettings>  
         <cryptoNameMapping>  
            <cryptoClasses>  
               <cryptoClass   MyCryptoRSA="MyCryptoRSAClass, MyAssembly  
                  Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a5d015c7d5a0b012,  
                  Version=1.0.0.0"/>  
            </cryptoClasses>  
            <nameEntry name="RSA" class="MyCryptoRSA"/>  
            <nameEntry name="System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricAlgorithm"  
                       class="MyCryptoRSA"/>  
         </cryptoNameMapping>  
      </cryptographySettings>  
   </mscorlib>  
</configuration>
