Attributes and Elements

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

Attributes

Attribute	Description
enabled	Required attribute. Specifies whether the caching of binding failures is disabled.

Enabled Attribute

Value	Description
0	Do not disable the caching of binding failures. This is the default binding behavior in the .NET Framework version 2.0.
1	Disable the caching of binding failures. This setting reverts to the binding behavior of the .NET Framework version 1.1.

Child Elements

None.

Parent Elements

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

Remarks

In the .NET Framework version 2.0, the default behavior when binding assemblies is to cache binding failures. That is, if an attempt to load an assembly fails, later requests for the same assembly are failed immediately, without any attempt to locate the assembly.

Example

The following code example shows how to disable the caching of assembly binding failures.

<configuration>
   <runtime>
      <disableCachingBindingFailures enabled="1" />
   </runtime>
</configuration>
