System.Xml.Serialization.CodeIdentifier

CodeIdentifier

This class should never get constructed as it contains only static methods.

System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer

FromMappings(XmlMapping[], Evidence)

This method is obsolete and will be removed in a future release of the .NET Framework. Please use an overload of XmlSerializer.FromMappings that does not take an System.Security.Policy.Evidence parameter.

System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer

XmlSerializer(Type, XmlAttributeOverrides, Type[], XmlRootAttribute, String, String, Evidence)

This method is obsolete and will be removed in a future release of the .NET Framework. Please use an XmlSerializer.XmlSerializer constructor overload that does not take an System.Security.Policy.Evidence parameter.

This method is obsolete and will be removed in a future release of the .NET Framework. Please use an overload of XmlSerializerFactory.CreateSerializer that does not take an System.Security.Policy.Evidence parameter.

Obsolete Members in Microsoft Assemblies

The following tables list the obsolete members in Microsoft assemblies. These assemblies are special-purpose assemblies such as assemblies that target an individual language (such as Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll) or a build system (such as Microsoft.Build.Engine.dll).

IEHost.dll and IEExec.exe

The IEHost.dll and IEExec.exe assemblies have been removed from the .NET Framework. All of their types and their members are obsolete and are not supported as of .NET Framework 4. These assemblies were used to host Windows Forms controls and to run executables in Internet Explorer. Alternatives to this technology include ClickOnce, XAML Browser Applications (XBAP), and Microsoft Silverlight.

ISymWrapper.dll

Type

Member

Message

System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.SymBinder

GetReader(Int32, String, String)

The recommended alternative is SymBinder.GetReader(IntPtr, String, String). ISymbolBinder1.GetReader takes the importer interface pointer as an System.IntPtr instead of an System.Int32, and thus works on both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.

Microsoft.Build.Conversion.v4.0.dll

Type

Member

Message

Microsoft.Build.Conversion.ProjectFileConverter

ConvertInMemory(Engine, ProjectLoadSettings)

Use parameterless ProjectFileConverter.ConvertInMemory() method instead.

Microsoft.Build.Conversion.ProjectFileConverter

ConvertInMemory(Engine)

Use parameterless ProjectFileConverter.ConvertInMemory() method instead.

Microsoft.Build.Conversion.ProjectFileConverter

Convert(String)

Use parameterless Convert() overload instead.

Microsoft.Build.Conversion.ProjectFileConverter

Convert(ProjectLoadSettings)

Use parameterless Convert() overload instead.

Microsoft.Build.Engine.dll

Type

Member

Message

Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine.Engine

Engine(String)

If you were simply passing in the .NET Framework location as the BinPath, just change to the parameterless Engine() constructor. Otherwise, you can define custom toolsets in the registry or config file, or by adding elements to the Engine's Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine.ToolsetCollection. Then use either the Engine() or Engine(ToolsetLocations) constructor instead.

Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine.Engine

BinPath

Avoid setting BinPath. If you were simply passing in the .NET Framework location as the BinPath, no other action is necessary. Otherwise, define Toolsets instead in the registry or config file, or by adding elements to the Engine's Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine.ToolsetCollection, in order to use a custom BinPath.

Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll

Type

Member

Message
