What do you think it might do ? Why might you do it ? the word dependant means, that it's something that's required, you depend on it.

we bind custom built assemblies .. depending on the version of the framework or the processorarchitecture these are not custom built assemblies they are system assemblies.. and only these two are binded ... is this not required for other system assemblies??? i have taken this from an auto generated web.config

The stuff that ASP.NET ALWAYS uses, is there by default. I would guess this is ASP.NET AJAX, or some other library you have added.
