Remarks

The <linkedConfiguration> Element simplifies the management of component assemblies by allowing application configuration files to include assembly configuration files in well-known locations, rather than duplicating assembly configuration settings.

Note
The <linkedConfiguration> element is not supported for applications with Windows side-by-side manifests.

Example

The following code example shows how to include a configuration file on the local hard disk.

<configuration>
   <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">

</configuration>
