The default location of the machine config file is % WinDir % \ Microsoft. NET \ framework \ framework_version \ config.
If you open the. NET 3.5 folder, you will find that there is no machine. config file.
Why?
. Net 3.5 is only the layer above. NET 2.0. To run. Net 3.5,. NET 2.0 is required.
Therefore, the. NET 3.5 folder contains only the files required by 3.5. The files still need to be accessed. NET 2.0.
ApplicationProgramThe configuration file used depends on the CLR version, rather than the version of the Framework library.
. Net 3.5 and. NET 2.0 use the same CLR version, so they use the same config file.
