In .NET 11 Preview 7, a bug fix unified error handling in
FileConfigurationProviderand its derivatives, so IO errors (e.g., fromAddJsonFile,AddXmlFile,AddIniFile, or file reloads) are now forwarded toFileConfigurationSource.OnLoadExceptioninstead of only being observable viaTaskScheduler.UnobservedTaskException. Code that unconditionally casts the exception inOnLoadExceptiontoInvalidDataExceptionorFileNotFoundExceptioncan now throwInvalidCastException.Changes
