SYMPTOMS
When you run a Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0-based application, you
may notice that no exceptions of the ConfigurationException type are thrown. This behavior occurs
even if the .config file is missing or if the .config file contains configuration settings that are not valid.
Typically, this behavior occurs if the
following conditions are true:
| • | An assembly is executed by using the AppDomain
object. |
| • | The AppDomain object is created by using the AppDomainSetup
object. |
| • | The ConfigurationFile property for the AppDomainSetup
object uses a URL that disallows anonymous access to the executed
assembly. |

CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the configuration system in the
.NET Framework 2.0 ignores errors when the configuration system loads .config files over the network.
This behavior prevents a malicious user from acquiring detailed information
in exceptions.
Back to the top
STATUS
This
behavior is by design.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
