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 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 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 element contains zero or more elements. Each 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 element. In .NET Framework version 2.0, the default language providers are not identified in the element, but can be enumerated using the GetAllCompilerInfo method.

.NET Framework Versions 1.0 and 1.1

The element contains the compiler configuration settings for language providers on a computer. The element contains zero or more elements. Each 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.
