.Net 4.8 BCL: Switch UseLegacyFipsThrow for VSTO add-ins is set to true (old behavior) by default #1117

Open acardenaskma opened 4 years ago

Hello team,

Why is the switch UseLegacyFipsThrow for VSTO add-ins set to true (old behavior) by default? Was it intentional? All other project types I tested use the new policy as default.

Regards, Alain.

If the switch is true, either the main executable targets something older than 4.8, or the switch is actively set to true by config.

I don't know what is hosting the VSTO add-in, but whatever it is is what would be used for the "older than 4.8" check.

Thanks Jeremy,

The add-ins are hosted in PowerPoint and Excel from Office 365 (latest semi-annual stable build). I guess the latest semi-annual release has not target .net 4.8 yet. I tried updating the switch inside the add-in start up function and It seems to work.

I'll do some testing with the latest monthly release to see if the .net target version was increased to 4.8.

Alain.
