Does the 3.5 framework use the machine.config from the 2.0 framework?

Author Name Status Posted Time Aroma Poitoy 5/20/2008 2:20:08 AM Author is Offline Hi All, We're in the process of upgrading our servers from 2.0 to 3.5 on some Windows 2003 servers and I'm having trouble finding the answer to this question: There doesn't seem to be a machine.config in the /win/Microsoft.net/Framework/v3.5 directory after installation. Does the 3.5 framework use the machine.config from the 2.0 framework?  We have a couple environments setup with load balancing so I need to make sure I setup the machine keys correctly. Thanks for your help!

Ronald Moraiah 5/20/2008 4:39:32 AM .NET 3.5 is only a layer on top of 2.0.  You can still required to maintain 2.0 to ensure that 3.5 also runs.  So, the Framework directory for 3.5 only contains files that are needed for the new version.  Anything that is unchanged is still accessed through 2.0. So, I guess the answer to your question is that you need to maintain the machine.config under 2.0.  Thus, if it's already been configured to work with 2.0, then it should be ready for 3.5.
