I have the following configuration file in a application console:

The nhibernate section I haved copied from an dummy application (console application) where it worked just fine. When I run my app (a slightly bigger one with more class library projects involved and referenced) I get the following exception:
System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException was unhandled

InnerException:
The dummy app where I haved tested the same Db connection with hibernate worked just fine.
If I remove the nhibernate section the rest of the app runs just fine.
Could someone give me a hint where is the issue? (the nhibernate versions are corect)
Thanks,
Tamas
Did you add all the required NHibernate references to the project? This looks to me like the app can’t load the NH configuration section handler and thus doesn’t recognize the entire
<hibernate-configuration>block.
