caspol and .NET configuration tool
If you are using .NET 4.0 you don't need caspol.exe
or Mscorcfg.msc
. There were some big changes in Code Access Security(CAS) in .NET 4.0 which eliminated the need for the two tools.
You can find out more about Mscorcfg.msc
snap-in here. It is basically a nice GUI interface to the caspol.exe
Code Access Security policy editor command-line utility.

I see that .NET configuration tool is not provided anymore with .NET 4.0 (Windows 7), but this site explains about the tool 'caspol' and .NET Framework Configuration tool (Mscorcfg.msc).
How can I use caspol.exe to generate configration XML file? This site explains about .NET configuration tool to generate the config XML file automatically. I want to know how to do that with caspol.exe.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <runtime> <gcConcurrent enabled="true" /> <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"> <publisherPolicy apply="yes" /> <probing privatePath="bin;bin2" /> </assemblyBinding> </runtime> </configuration>
And, what is Mscorcfg.msc? How can I run/use this tool?
