.net-4.0

For my current project, we're using some CLR 2 based mixed mode assemblies.

In order to use these from within a .NET 4 targetted assembly, I know you have to add useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy=true to the <startup> element within app.config.

I understand that this changes the activation policy, causing these mixed-mode assemblies to be loaded using the highest supported version of the CLR.

However, are there any side effects to doing this? What potential issues should I watch for when enabling the non-default activation policy?
