Application Behavior

By default, all information that the runtime needs to locate, load, and execute an application is available either implicitly (e.g., the location where you started the application establishes the default search path) or with the manifest for each assembly that's loaded as a part of that application For example, by default, each assembly binds to the versions of its dependencies it was compiled with as specified in its manifest.

However, there are several application settings that may be configured either on an application-by-application basis, or at the machine level, for all applications launched on that machine. There are rules for how settings at each of these levels are merged to obtain a single set of configuration settings for a given application. The rules for each setting are given in the description of the settings that follow.

The configuration settings available in the Tech Preview are:

Excluding NGWS runtime Remoting, these configuration settings are located in one of two places:

NGWS runtime remoting currently uses its own configuration file (detailed in the NGWS runtime remoting section). In the future, NGWS runtime Remoting configuration information will be included in the configuration files mentioned above.
