1) If I'm not mistaken, the assemblies are downloaded to a folder created by the framework on some OSs and to folders in the user's profile on other OSs. The old assemblies in some OSs will be purged starting with the oldest, depending on the size allowcated for the cache to hold. On other OSs where the dlls are downloaded to the user's profile folders, then I don't think any of those assemblies get removed. It just creates new folders for each new assembly.
2) Thread may help http://discuss.develop.com/archives/wa.exe?A2=ind0203A&L=DOTNET&P=R7958 -----Original Message----- From: Teo Lachev [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 9:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DOTNET] Windows Forms Web Deployment Questions I have the following questions about the Windows Rorms auto web deployment which is BTW very cool: 1. How long will an old version of the Windows Form executable and reference assemblies stay in the download cache? The auto deploy will automatically download the new versions of the assemblies, but what rules .net follows to scavenge the download cache? 2. If the windows forms application uses a config file, e.g. to specify remoting settings, will the config file settings be honored in the auto deploy scenario? Do I have to deploy the config file in the virtual folder as well, does it get downloaded to the client as well?
