#) Application Restore Utility
In v1.0/v1.1 of the CLR,
there is a relatively obscure feature known as the .NET application restore
tool. This feature makes use of log files which record binding information when
running a managed app. The idea is that if binding policy for your application
changed, the tool would be able to analyze this data, and generate an
app.exe.config file, which can get you back to binding settings you used
previously.
#) Redirecting assembly versions
When you build a .NET Framework application against a specific version of a
strong-named assembly, the application uses that version of the assembly at run
time. However, sometimes you might want the application to run against a newer
version of an assembly. An application configuration file, machine configuration
file, or a publisher policy file can redirect one version of an assembly to
another.
