Unable to disable concurrent GC in .NET 4 ASP.NET w/ Cassini? "gcConcurrent" does not work

According to all the MSDN docs I can find, to disable Concurrent GC, you add this to your application config:

<runtime>
    <gcConcurrent enabled="false"/>
</runtime>

However, I have a .NET 4 ASP.NET app that I am running though VS2010 using Cassini (ASP.NET Development Server). Whether I specify enabled="true" or enabled="false" either way, making a call to GC.RegisterForFullGCNotification() throws the exception:

This API is not available when the concurrent GC is enabled.

I have tried it running with and without debug, and everything fails the same way. Any ideas how to make this work?

Adding the relevant setting to Cassini's own config file appears to work.

I recommend you use IIS Express, it's free and a much more capable web server than Cassini.
