Specifies whether the runtime uses code access security (CAS) publisher policy.
<generatePublisherEvidence
enabled="true|false"/>
The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.
Attributes
Attribute | Description |
|---|
enabled | Required attribute. Specifies whether the runtime uses CAS publisher policy. |
Enabled Attribute
Value | Description |
|---|
false | Does not use CAS publisher policy. |
true | Uses CAS publisher policy. This is the default. |
Child Elements
None.
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 runtime initialization options. |
The common language runtime (CLR) tries to verify the Authenticode signature at load time to create Publisher evidence for the assembly. However, by default, most applications do not need Publisher evidence. Standard CAS policy does not rely on the PublisherMembershipCondition. You should avoid the unnecessary startup cost associated with verifying the publisher signature unless your application executes on a computer with custom CAS policy, or is intending to satisfy demands for PublisherIdentityPermission in a partial-trust environment. (Demands for identity permissions always succeed in a full-trust environment.)

We recommend that services use the <generatePublisherEvidence> element to improve startup performance. Using this element can also help avoid delays that can cause a time-out and the cancellation of the service startup. |
Configuration File
This element can be used only in the application configuration file.
The following example shows how to use the <generatePublisherEvidence> element to disable checking for CAS publisher policy for an application.
<configuration>
<runtime>
<generatePublisherEvidence enabled="false"/>
</runtime>
</configuration>
