Attributes and Elements

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.

Attributes

Attribute Description
xmlns Required attribute.

Specifies the XML namespace required for assembly binding. Use the string "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" as the value.
appliesTo Specifies the runtime version the .NET Framework assembly redirection applies to. This optional attribute uses a .NET Framework version number to indicate what version it applies to. If no appliesTo attribute is specified, the element applies to all versions of the .NET Framework. The appliesTo attribute was introduced in .NET Framework version 1.1; it is ignored by .NET Framework version 1.0. This means that all elements are applied when using .NET Framework version 1.0, even if an appliesTo attribute is specified.

Child Elements

Element Description
Encapsulates binding policy and assembly location for an assembly. Use one tag for each assembly.
Specifies subdirectories the common language runtime searches when loading assemblies.
Specifies whether the runtime applies publisher policy.
Specifies the full name of the assembly that should be dynamically loaded when a partial name is used.

Parent Elements

Element Description
configuration The root element in every configuration file used by the common language runtime and .NET Framework applications.
runtime Contains information about assembly binding and garbage collection.
