I just upgraded my Windows Forms project from .NET 3.0 to .NET 3.5 and the upgrade added the following to my app.config file:
<system.web>
<membership defaultProvider="ClientAuthenticationMembershipProvider">
<providers>
<add name="ClientAuthenticationMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.ClientServices.Providers.ClientFormsAuthenticationMembershipProvider, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" serviceUri=""/>
</providers>
</membership>
<roleManager defaultProvider="ClientRoleProvider" enabled="true">
<providers>
<add name="ClientRoleProvider" type="System.Web.ClientServices.Providers.ClientRoleProvider, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" serviceUri="" cacheTimeout="86400"/>
</providers>
</roleManager>
</system.web>
I thought that system.web was only for Web projects. Does this seem wrong?

An application configuration file contains settings that are specific to an app. This file includes configuration settings that the common language runtime reads (such as assembly binding policy, remoting objects, and so on), and settings that the app can read.
You can have a web. config for each folder under your web application. app. config is used for windows applications.
config file location. In order to set up the ASP.NET Core Module correctly, the web. config file must be present at the content root path (typically the app base path) of the deployed app.
If you are not using the ASP.NET Membership features for authentication / authorization, these entries can be removed. The XML entry is just a reference to the assembly where the membership classes are found, as is not specific to windows / web applications. ASP.NET membership can be used for both types of applications.
