Schengen visa validity after ILR

Hi,

I'm on a Tier 2 General visa and planning to apply for ILR this month via the 5 year route using the same day premium service.
My question is about the Schengen visa I hold at present, which is valid until 2020.
When I get my ILR, will that invalidate the Schengen visa as it was applied when I was on Tier 2 General?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

The UK is not part of the Schengen agreement and, as such, there is no afffect on your Schengen visa because of ILR (or vice versa). UK ILR only has meaning inside the UK.
