Runtime Settings Schema

Runtime settings specify how the common language runtime handles garbage collection and the version of an assembly to use in configuration files.

<configuration>
   <runtime>
      <developmentMode>
      <assemblyBinding>
         <probing>
         <publisherPolicy>
         <qualifyAssembly> Element
         <dependentAssembly>
            <assemblyIdentity>
            <bindingRedirect>
            <codeBase>
            <publisherPolicy>
         <gcConcurrent>

Element Description
<assemblyBinding> Contains information about assembly version redirection and the locations of assemblies.
<assemblyIdentity> Contains identifying information about an assembly.
<bindingRedirect> Redirects one assembly version to another.
<codeBase> Specifies where the runtime can find an assembly.
<dependentAssembly> Encapsulates binding policy and assembly location for each assembly.
<developmentMode> Specifies whether the runtime searches for assemblies in directories specified by the DEVPATH environment variable.
<gcConcurrent> Specifies whether the runtime runs garbage collection concurrently.
<probing> Specifies subdirectories that the runtime searches when loading assemblies.
<publisherPolicy> Specifies whether the runtime applies publisher policy.
<qualifyAssembly> Element Specifies the full name of the assembly that should be dynamically loaded when a partial name is used.
<runtime> Contains information about assembly binding and the behavior of garbage collection.
